Founded in 1916, TADA serves as the statewide trade association representing franchised automobile dealerships across Texas, advocating for its members before the Texas Legislature, Congress, and regulatory agencies, while also providing legal guidance and other critical resources to help dealers succeed in an increasingly complex industry. Texas franchised dealers are a powerful economic engine for our state—and their impact is felt by Texans every day. Franchised dealers provide hundreds of thousands of jobs that support families across Texas, generate billions in state and local tax revenue, and invest deeply in their communities through local charitable organizations. This Automotive Industry Economic Impact Study was conducted to demonstrate how the strength of Texas franchised dealers directly benefits Texans and contributes to a healthy, growing Texas economy.
