Upcoming First Ever PBT Digital Day at the Capitol
The Chair of the the Professional Bondsmen of Texas Legislative Committee has announced that the committee is planning its first ever Digital Day at the Capital. The Committee has concluded because of the pandemic and the rules of certain offices, PBT wants to ensure the protection of our elected officials and our members. Therefore, in addition to our members of the legislative committee who will be traveling to Austin each week, the committee will be holding its "Day at the Capital" digitally.
What is a "Day at the Capital?"
This is one or more days designated by the Legislative Committee where we ask our members to travel to Austin to meet with our elected officials to discuss bills that affect the industry. We normally concentrate on the members of committees who will here our bills.
How Does Your Participation Help?
If you have a personal relationship with your elected officials you can help. You know them and can schedule meetings with the representative or senator or we can use your name to schedule a meeting. You can go to these meetings with members of the legislative committee and introduce us to your represenative or senator. Then the PBT legislative committee member can discuss the specifics of our issues with the purpose of the meeting. The most common question we get is that our members are afraid they will have to talk on the issues. Be assured that a member of the committee will go with you to the meeting and you can feel confident in talking as much or as little as you are comfortable.
Your participation is crucial to getting PBT in the door to tell our story.
