Join TPEA Today
If you're an active or retired state employee, it's important to have a professional and effective advocate on your side to protect your valuable benefits. Without such representation, there is no guarantee that your benefits won't be reduced or eliminated. Joining TPEA is an affordable investment that ensures you have a respected voice at the Capitol advocating for your interests and protecting the benefits that are crucial for your financial well-being.

Tim Fitzpatrick, Director III for Classification & Records at TDCJ

As a state employee, it's so beneficial to have a non-partisan, non-union association looking out for our best interest. I've seen the mission of TPEA firsthand in action, and how they've been able to support us by working to ensure our state benefits are protected. They support us as current employees and into retirement.

Kerrie Summerfield, Budget Division at the OAG

I relied on TPEA for years regarding information about changes in our benefits and what’s going on in the Legislature. Then, I decided to become a member and eventually volunteer so that I could help advocate for myself. The advocacy helped get our recent state raises. TPEA showed up to over 50 hearings to get the across the board pay raises. And they fight for our benefits like keeping premiums low. TPEA fights for employees, they fight for us.

John DeWitt, Director of Planning & Development at TxDOT

I’ve been a TPEA member for a long time. TPEA is a recognized and respected resource our legislators rely on to make informed decisions about state employee benefits. One of the most effective things TPEA does is present sensible solutions that they can easily support. That approach benefits active employees and retirees alike, and those of us contemplating retirement soon should applaud TPEA for their leadership in preserving full benefits.
