    Legislative Services

    County officials from across Texas will convene in Austin Aug. 27-29 for the Texas Association of Counties’ 2025 Legislative Conference. This annual gathering is the state’s largest event focused on county government and will explore the key outcomes of the 89th Texas Legislature and what they mean for county operations.

    The conference opens with a keynote address by Kent R. Hance, a former state senator, former U.S. representative and chancellor emeritus of the Texas Tech University System. Hance hosts “The Best Storyteller in Texas” podcast, and his mix of humor and insight will set the stage for an agenda featuring 10 breakout sessions on timely topics led by members of TAC’s Legislative Services team.

    Attendees will connect with state and federal policymakers, as well as colleagues from every corner of the state. The closing session will spotlight leadership at the Texas-Mexico border and how counties are tackling cross-border challenges and opportunities.
