The Texas Association of Builders is dedicated to creating a positive business environment for the housing industry by addressing the housing issues of the people of Texas.

Founded in 1946, the Texas Association of Builders is an affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders and has 34 local home builders associations and 11,000 members across Texas.  Representing over 500,000 jobs and more than $35 billion in the Texas economy, the state and local associations play a crucial role in providing housing for Texans.

   HOMEPAC, the Texas Association of Builders (TAB) political action committee, is an essential part of the advocacy program at TAB. HOMEPAC provides contributions in support of pro-housing candidates to both statewide office and the Texas Legislature.
