“Our team was able to advance several of our legislative priorities and was successful at preventing legislative efforts that would have a negative effect on the dealer community from being passed into law.

Thank you to everyone that participated in advocating for the auto industry in Texas!”

– April Ancira, TADA Board Chair

As the regular session concluded on May 31st, the 87th Texas Legislature closed the books on one of the more interesting regular sessions since I started work here in the late 1980s. And although they will almost certainly be back in Austin at least two times before the end of the year (one to deal with priorities of Governor Abbott that didn’t pass, the other to address redistricting), TADA can claim a successful session. There was strong support in both the Texas House and Senate against efforts to undermine our strong franchise laws.
