In addition to the workshops, TADA has been conducting regional legislative visits across the state, updating and educating members and pertinent Texas House and Senate committees on issues that impact us the most. These touchpoints have allowed us to engage in more in-depth conversations about the robust businesses of the Texas franchised automobile dealers. Members of the TADA Legislative Committee will be meeting in mid-November to finalize the key priorities that the association will focus on during the session, so stay tuned for updates from that meeting. We will be discussing the proactive measures we intend to pursue as well as any defensive actions we need to take. The 88th Texas Legislative Session quickly follows the general election and is set to convene at noon on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023, and meets for 140 calendar days. You are welcome to visit anytime, particularly during the session, and we are happy to introduce you to the legislative process. Please also remember to connect with TADA on social media — on Facebook @TexasAutomobile Dealers Association and Twitter @autodealerstx — to keep up-to-date with what is happening. Thank you for all you do for TADA, your communities, customers, employees and our state. I so much appreciate your support in the past to ensure the success of Texas dealers, and look forward to many future endeavors together. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or insights that you want to share. TADA continuously educates and fosters relationships with elected officials year-round, relaying their industry’s concerns about legislation and regulation that impacts each and every one of our franchised dealers. 7 FALL 2022
