Texas and industry are practically synonymous—Texas is a place to work and fulfill dreams.

Better jobs means a better quality of life. Learn more

Houston is home to the largest concentration of petrochemical industries in the world. The inevitable by-product is increased pollutants in our air, water and land. The same air, water and land that families and pets depend on. While industry is a boon to the economy, if under-regulated, it poses an increased threat to the community’s health and well-being.

Paid parental leave is a measure that we believe will help Texas families as they grow and welcome their new family member. Whether through birth or adoption, every parent needs time to adjust and bond. They also need to know that they can safely take time off from work to do so without the worry of keeping their job or not having a steady income while they are away from the workplace. Although this is a new concept for Texas businesses, we are working to find the best approach to getting this pro-family, pro-business and pro-Texas policy passed. Learn more
