Advocacy

The Texas Pipeline Association is the voice of the Texas pipeline industry, advocating on behalf of our member companies before the state’s legislature and regulatory agencies. We serve as a resource to educate regulators and the public on how pipelines are “the veins of the state,” delivering the crucial hydrocarbons we consumers use every day, as well as contributing revenues, taxes and jobs to the people of Texas.
