The Organization

Texans for Economic Progress is an Austin-based, non-profit advocacy group that monitors the competitive process in key sectors of the Texas economy. TEP keeps its finger on the pulse of Texans and works closely with elected officials and regulators at the local, state, and federal level to further educate them on issues impacting competition in communications. TEP also works to generate public awareness of how Texans’ lives and finances are impacted by decisions made on these issues by our policy-makers.

Texans for Economic Progress was founded in part by Sandra Haverlah, President of the Texas Consumer Association and one of the state’s most respected and well-known consumer advocates.
