Airspace Structure; Procedure
I departed for a VFR flight to ILE. Before departing; I checked weather; NOTAMS and TFRs enroute and saw that there were only two active TFRs in the Texas area; Dallas and Corpus Christi. Neither of which was along my flight path. I was in the vicinity of Waco; TX Approach Control and contacted them on 127.65 to let them know I was 15-20 NM northeast of their position at 4;500 FT MSL and wanted to get permission to transition through their airspace to my destination. I was informed by the Approach Controller that I was near an active TFR and that I needed to turn east to avoid penetrating the restricted area. After complying with the order; the Controller vectored me around toward the south and then west to maintain TFR clearance. I was told to contact Waco Approach Control via the telephone upon my arrival to ILE. I called them at my destination and spoke about the problem. Apparently; there was a moving TFR that was being conducted in the Waco vicinity that I was unaware of and it was not listed on the FAA.gov TFR website. Being a Part 135 professional pilot; I was shocked to have been snared into a situation such as this and I can assure you that I make safety paramount in all of my aviation related activities.
General Aviation pilot voiced concern regarding the lack of published information on a moving TFR near Waco; TX; noting no NOTAM information was published regarding this TFR.
