Below is a QR code for a video featuring our 2025 TADA chairman, Tim Crenwelge, discussing the real-world impact of payments falling short — on employees, customers and operations alike. TADA is planning to share several future videos with you that reinforce the need for a fair payment system for parts. I would encourage you to take a moment to watch the video. If you are interested in filming your own video, please let us know. We would love to work with you. https://vimeo.com/1136941282 The interim period between sessions is an ideal time to build relationships and educate legislators, as they have more time to listen and learn. Most lawmakers have never had the opportunity to fully appreciate the complexities of the franchise system — and that’s where your voice and experience make all the difference. Our future success depends on ensuring legislators understand how the current franchise model benefits their constituents, supports local jobs, and keeps Texas consumers moving safely and efficiently. This is only one step in a long process, but every conversation matters. By staying engaged now, we’ll be better positioned for the 90th Regular Session in 2027 — and beyond. Thank you, as always, for your leadership, your advocacy and your commitment to strengthening the Texas dealer community. 7 DEALERS’ CHOICE
