Advocacy

Preservation Texas is the only statewide organization dedicated to being the advocate for the historic resources of Texas. We advocate on behalf of our membership and local affiliates for actions by public agencies, private organizations and citizens to protect, restore, and insure economic benefit from historic building, places, artifacts and archives.

How Do We Accomplish Our Advocacy Objectives?

  • Educating members and constituents on key issues.

  • Developing position statements on statewide issues.

  • Working with other organizations and individuals in supporting or opposing issues of mutual interest.

  • Monitoring legislation that impacts historic resources.

Know of an Advocacy Issue?

As the advocate for the historic and cultural resources of Texas, Preservation Texas will support other like-minded organizations and individuals who are in the midst of an advocacy challenge. As a statewide organization, we can more effectively intervene if the challenge meets certain criteria that align with our mission.
