The Voice of Housing in Texas

A Positive Force In Austin

Founded in 1946, the Texas Association of Builders is an affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders and has 33 local home builders associations across Texas. With a membership of more than 12,000 representing 550,000 jobs and $35 billion of the Texas economy, the Texas Association of Builders plays a crucial role in providing housing for Texans.

Texas Association of Builders (TAB) professional government relations staff work year-round to advocate legislative reforms that benefit our industry. Our experienced lobbyists monitor bills, legislative and regulatory hearings that involve building issues and work to amend or defeat measures that would adversely impact the industry.

The government relations program is nationally recognized for its innovative programs and legislative successes. Legislation endorsed by the association has been passed which resulted in significant savings to the home building industry and, in turn, to the home buying public. The association has routinely defeated a long list of bills potentially harmful to the industry.

Taking Your Business to Greater Heights!

History

In 1988, several community leaders including Jack Fields, Harold and Milton Wiesenthal, Norman Adams, George Polk, Jr., and Constable Jack Abercia saw a need for a forum to promote business, and so the Greater Heights Area Chamber of Commerce was born. Although based in the Heights, the Chamber's large and diverse membership and its influence have extended far beyond its geographical boundaries. This rapidly growing organization serves businesses over most of the metropolitan Houston area. The Chamber's mission statement sums up its purpose - to take your business to greater heights. Through business seminars, trade expos, networking opportunities, and information resources such as its website, newsletter and local media coverage, the Chamber works consistently and effectively to provide our members access to opportunities to develop and increase trade and commerce.
