The Austin Legislative Rally will be held February 17-18, 2025, at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, 1900 University Ave, Austin, Texas. 

Below is a brief description of each scheduled event.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call Jen Johnston at (512) 486-6221. 

ORIENTATION

On Monday, February 17, at 4:00 p.m. there will be a legislative briefing at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center in Grand Salon C.  The purpose of the briefing is to discuss current legislation relating to electric cooperatives and go over topics of discussion for the upcoming legislative appointments.  Handouts will be available to deliver to each legislative office.

LEGISLATIVE APPOINTMENTS 

House and Senate appointments will occur on Tuesday, February 18.  Each co-op is responsible for making your own House appointments.  You can coordinate with neighboring co-ops on scheduling your House appointments if you wish.  We suggest that you set up your House visits after the first of the year.

TEC will make the Senate appointments.  Most senate districts are served by numerous co-ops and that makes the coordination easier for the senate offices.  We also have a much better chance of actually meeting with the senator. We will notify you as soon as these appointments are confirmed.

We will be sending you a list of all legislators with their office addresses and phone numbers as soon as it is available.  

TEC OPEN HOUSE

TEC will host an Open House at the headquarters building on Tuesday, February 18 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.  Please feel free to stop by between your legislative visits.  We are directly across the street from the Capitol.

LEGISLATIVE RECEPTION – TEXAS STATE HISTORY MUSEUM

A reception for all members of the Texas Legislature and their staffs will be held Tuesday, February 18th from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Texas State History Museum (The Bullock Museum).  The reception is sponsored by all Texas electric cooperatives. TEC will be extending a formal invitation to these offices, but we strongly urge you to extend your own invitation to all of the legislators that represent your cooperatives’ service areas.  You should invite your House and Senate members, as well as their staffs.  Legislators always appreciate a personal invitation from their friends back home.   

There will be ample opportunity at the reception for you to visit with your legislators and their staffs in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. 

MEETING REGISTRATION

Registration will open December 1, 2024.

REGISTRATION FEE

There is no individual registration fee for the Legislative Rally.  The cost of the conference will be divided equally among all TEC member cooperatives following the event.
