TAPA has put together an excellent lobbying team to defend our gains, block harmful legislation and pass new initiatives. Team members include Bill Messer, recently named by Texas Monthly as one of the 25 Most Powerful People in Texas Politics; former chairman of the House Committee on Public Health, Jaime Capelo; and Mike Hull, TAPA's chief negotiator of House Bill 4, an experienced litigator and honored as one of The Best Lawyers in America since 1999.
