2013 . . . Legislature is Back in Session! |
|
|
|
It's that time again. The 83rd Texas Legislature is in session and our TXMPA Board and lobbyists are hard at work educating new legislators on our industry and striving to secure increased funding for the incentive program.
Texas is now one of 41 states with a media incentive program. We know the importance of not only having a program, but funding the program at a level that allows us to truly compete.
Our focus is on growing media work in Texas and retaining our indigenous talent and resources.
