With just 99 days until the Texas legislative session begins, the calendar and key dates play a crucial role in determining the most effective timing for your advocacy efforts. From the November 5th election to the start of bill filing on November 11th, each milestone presents both opportunities and challenges for businesses looking to advocate in the policymaking process. November 5th – Election Day: The outcome of this election will shape the legislative landscape and influence the upcoming session. Savvy businesses engage government relations experts early to game plan for different election scenarios and ensure they're positioned to advocate effectively regardless of the results. November 11th - Bill Filing Begins: Once the election is completed, lawmakers may begin filing bills the following week on November 11th. This provides us with the first glimpse into what policy items will be discussed in the upcoming legislative session. Engaging government relations experts early provides you with the advantageous opportunity to begin specific policy discussions before session begins. January 14th - First Day of Session: Of course, the ultimate milestone is the January 14th when the 89th Texas legislature convenes. Once the session begins, there will be numerous deadlines and timelines that must be followed, requiring us to move quickly and strategically. Businesses that engage early enjoy a significant strategic advantage, having had the opportunity to build relationships, educate policymakers and get out in front of the most important debates. Timing is everything when it comes to effective advocacy. That's why successful companies partner with government relations experts who thoroughly understand the legislative calendar and can develop a proactive strategy tailored to these critical deadlines and milestones.
