Do you know the IT Caucus?

For organizations looking to make an impact in the Texas legislature, the combination of size and meeting frequency can pose serious challenges. The Texas House alone is 150 members strong. The legislative session only occurs once every two years. How can technology advocates expect to gain momentum on issues they care deeply about? 

Enter the Innovation and Technology Caucus of the Texas House, aptly abbreviated as the IT Caucus. The organization was founded in 2015 to “further advance technology industry innovation, growth, and competitiveness in Texas.”

If you are hoping to move any technology legislation in Texas, the IT Caucus is often one of the first calls to make. The members of the caucus meet regularly with a diverse range of stakeholders who care about the impact of the technology sector on the Lone Star State’s economy. The interests of the IT Caucus go far beyond digital assets - everything from biotechnology, telecommunications, and renewable energy falls under their remit. But the IT Caucus demonstrates a clear commitment to maintaining Texan leadership in digital assets as well.
