Rules in Texas & TNLA Response

Rules in Texas & TNLA Response
As the days go by State, Local and City Disaster Declaration Ordinances continue to be amended. Listed are the current regulations across the State. To help mitigate these updated rules and regulations to keep our member's businesses "essential" TNLA has drafted a variety of letters in support of our member's companies. Share these letters with your local elected officials and make sure they understand that the federal government recommends your company should be considered “essential business.”
