Your Legislator 2000-01 Security industry professionals must become very proactive in dealing with the Texas Legislature and the Texas Commission on Private Security. Most of the legislators in our state know very little about your industry. And yet they will be called upon to vote on measures that will mandate how you may conduct your business in the future. We need all security industry professionals who personally know a legislator or legislative aide to contact your trade association. The Texas Legislature will convene on the second Tuesday in January to vote on how to regulate your business.
Legislators appreciate hearing from people who live and vote in their districts.
If you know a legislator, you may need to come to Austin or make a telephone call on behalf of the security industry. If you don't know your State Senator and State Representative, then now is a good time to get to know them. At the site, you may type in your address and it will find your Senator, State Representative and your U.S. Representative. You may contact them through e-mail at this site, which also provides their telephone numbers and mailing address. This is campaign season and the costs of running these elections continue to rise.
