Each biennium Texas Neighborhoods Together develops a legislative agenda by the majority vote of its member alliances. The agenda comprises two parts:

Priority Package Issues that TNT members consider the most critical for preserving and maintaining the integrity of Texas neighborhoods during a particular legislative biennium. TNT members pledge to focus their most vigorous attention and greatest resources on legislative proposals having the capacity to impact any item in the Priority Package

Support Package Issues of deep concern that TNT members will closely watch for legislative developments and potential advocacy efforts

Texas Neighborhoods Together implements its legislative agenda by

Drafting legislation
Monitoring the progress of proposed legislation
Meeting with Legislators
Presenting testimony in public hearings
Leading grassroots advocacy campaigns
Providing information to the Public

As issues arise in various areas of the state, we work collectively to preserve neighborhoods with telephone calls and letters of support to decision-makers. Together, we sponsor educational programs and share instructional materials, "best practices," and newsletters to benefit the individual neighborhoods that our members represent. We network with other organizations that share our interests and form alliances for mutual support.
