Texas Taxpayers and Research Association (TTARA)
The Texas Taxpayers and Research Association (TTARA) is the state’s pre-eminent association focusing on responsible state and local fiscal policy and how those policies impact the Texas economy. TTARA is a non-profit, membership-supported organization of both businesses and individuals. Our membership includes several hundred of the state’s largest employers and taxpayers, as well as leading tax professionals and trade associations that represent businesses and professions. They include the entire range of economic sectors and activities in Texas and share a common belief that all participants in our state's economic life have a stake in determining its future. TTARA members operate in every part of Texas; they employ and provide incomes to thousands of Texans; they produce or provide every type of good or service Texans consume; and, they provide a huge portion of the revenue that supports public services at every level of government. We provide our members with current information and high quality analysis of developing tax and spending issues. We provide educational services to our members and opportunities for them to network and meet with public policy makers. And we advocate changes in public policies where they are necessary to improve the state's fiscal practices and business climate.
