continued from pg. 6 A couple of major tort reform bills — especially those aimed at reining in runaway verdicts in commercial truck cases — fell short, but we’re not done. We’ll continue to build support through the interim and come back stronger next session. The Power of Dealer Relationships We say it every session, and it’s always true: Good policy is built on strong relationships. This year, we launched Regional Dealer Days at the Capitol — bringing in dealer groups from across Texas to meet with their lawmakers face to face. The turnout was outstanding, and the impact was even greater. If you got a call from our team asking you to reach out to your legislator and you picked up the phone, thank you. Your voice matters. Legislators know their local dealers. They trust you. And it’s your stories, your employees and your commitment to your communities and customers that make the difference. Federal Updates On the national front, we saw a major win as President Trump signed legislation overturning California’s ability to set its own vehicle emissions rules. This move protects national uniformity and preserves choice for Texas consumers and dealers alike. We’re keeping a close eye on federal issues — from emissions and tariffs to supply chain strain — and we’ll continue fighting back against policies that hurt your business and limit customer access to vehicles that fit their needs. Looking Ahead There’s no question: Texas franchised dealers are leading the way — in policy, in innovation and in service to your communities. TADA is proud to stand with you in Austin, in Washington and everywhere decisions are being made that affect your business. As new laws take effect and the dust settles from session, we’ll keep you updated with resources and training to stay compliant and competitive. Lastly, I would like to take a moment to recognize the TADA team and our Metro Association partners who work long hours to protect your business interests and Texas consumers. Kate, Karen, Rob and everyone within the TADA family once again did outstanding work. Thanks for all you do — and for keeping Texas moving forward. DEALERS’ CHOICE 8
