Our Mission

We ACCOMPLISHED what we set out to do! The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners has been extended another two years thanks to and Executive Order signed by Governor Abbott! Our Rally was a huge success and everyone of us that joined together ACCOMPLISHED THIS AS A TEAM!


OUR MISSION going forward is to address the many issues our industry is facing by working with our Board and our State Representatives so we will be successful in the next legislative session to continue on. 


We are NOT a big corporation, nor are we motivated by politics. We are a small group of individuals in the plumbing trade just like most of you. We are trying to do everything we can to protect what we believe in and are here standing along with you to see these important changes come to pass!  

The Organizers

We felt the need to put our names here for the public so that others joining us know who we are and can see that we are just local plumbers and not an entity with any other motivation or hidden agenda. SO MANY of you have been also helping a great deal behind the scenes and we are VERY grateful for your support in helping all of us stand for what we believe is necessary!
