Narrative:
On taxi out from bwi we were instructed to use taxiway east and tango. We saw a sign in the distance and as we approached it was the intersection of east and T. The jepps 10-9 page does not show taxiway tango anywhere. It is very uncomfortable to taxi without a correct 10-9 page for verification. There is nothing in the notams or the company information pages to tell the crew that there is no taxiway tango on the 10-9 page. Both first officer and I were using current updated jepps on our ipad. Jepps 10-9 page needs to be revised and/or aircrew needs to be notified by notam/company messages that there is an omission on 10-9 page.

Narrative: On taxi out from BWI we were instructed to use taxiway E and Tango. We saw a sign in the distance and as we approached it was the intersection of E and T. The Jepps 10-9 page does not show taxiway Tango anywhere. It is very uncomfortable to taxi without a correct 10-9 page for verification. There is nothing in the Notams or the company information pages to tell the crew that there is no Taxiway Tango on the 10-9 page. Both FO and I were using current updated Jepps on our IPAD. JEPPS 10-9 page needs to be revised and/or aircrew needs to be notified by Notam/company messages that there is an omission on 10-9 page.
