You Created Us...
the Texas Public Employees Association (TPEA) to be there for you. We are your FRIEND and VOICE at the Capitol. Our voice is only strong when our numbers are strong. If you're not a member, you need to be a member.
Founded in 1946 by dedicated state employees, we have fought for almost 80 years to enhance the salaries and quality benefits enjoyed by state employees and retirees. Today, we are one of the largest association for active and retired state employees, and we’re also the only nonunion, not-for-profit, nonpartisan association serving state employees during and after their careers.
We played a key role in establishing the ERS pension fund and in securing health insurance for state employees and retirees.
Without a strong advocate, there's no guarantee your benefits will remain intact. Your TPEA membership is an inexpensive way to secure a respected advocate at the Capitol, safeguarding your financial interests and benefits.

TPEA has had my back from before I even started working for the state. They have supported and empowered state employees since 1946, so I know my membership is not only supporting myself, but any future state employees. And they’ll be there when I retire too! It’s an investment in the future for myself and for Texas.
