TDLR Rule Change Raises Concerns for Texas Businesses and Skilled Workers The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) started a new rule that could block thousands of hardworking Texans from legally practicing their professions. For years, skilled workers without a Social Security number could obtain a license using an International Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and an affidavit. As of January, that option is no longer available; applicants will need a Social Security number. This change affects barbers, cosmetologists, massage therapists, HVAC professionals, midwives, dietitians, and many more, threatening small businesses and putting local economies at risk. Many of these workers have paid taxes, built businesses, and supported their communities for years. TAMACC and partner organizations are speaking out: this rule could worsen labor shortages, shut down businesses, and cost Texas economic growth. The state has not conducted a full economic impact study before moving forward. Texas Business Owners Fight Back Against Hancock’s Assault on Minority Contractors On Monday, March 2, four Texas business owners and a trade association took a stand against the state, suing acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock after he recklessly stripped minority- and women-owned businesses from the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program. Created in the 1990s to give these businesses a fair shot at state contracts, the program has been gutted under Hancock’s unilateral actions. Plaintiffs, including Houston-based Ipsum General Contractors and the Greater Houston chapter of the National Association of Minority Contractors, are calling out Hancock for blatant overreach, cutting businesses out of lucrative opportunities without so much as due process. Lead counsel Alphonso David slammed the move, declaring, “The Legislature passes the laws, not the comptroller.” Hancock’s changes have decimated participation, slashing the program from more than 15,000 businesses to fewer than 500—following Gov. Greg Abbott’s 2025 executive order banning DEI policies in state agencies. Plaintiffs are demanding immediate judicial intervention to restore the program while the lawsuit proceeds. For Hispanic and minority-owned businesses, this is more than a legal fight—it’s a battle to protect access, uphold fairness, and defend their rightful place in Texas’ multibillion-dollar contracting arena. Artificial Intelligence: The Next Frontier for Chamber Leadership Artificial intelligence is no longer an emerging concept for chambers of commerce. It is quickly becoming a strategic capability that directly affects how chambers operate, serve members, and lead in increasingly competitive markets.  Guidance from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and ongoing discussions within the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives reinforce a consistent message to chamber leaders: start small, focus on measurable member impact, and build with strong governance. For chamber executives, the question is no longer whether AI will influence the industry. It is how deliberately and strategically your organization will adopt it.

Shoulder replacement surgeon, or shoulder arthroplasty, is a procedure where damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components. It is performed to relieve pain and restore mobility in patients with severe shoulder joint conditions.

 

Indications

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Post-traumatic arthritis
• Rotator cuff tear arthropathy
• Avascular necrosis
• Severe fractures of the shoulder

 

Types of Shoulder Replacement

1. Total Shoulder Replacement

Replaces both the ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid)

Most common type

2. Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty)

Only the ball is replaced

Suitable for specific fractures

3. Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Ball and socket positions are switched

Used in severe rotator cuff damage or failed previous surgeries

 

Surgical Procedure

Performed under general or regional anaesthesia

Incision made in the front or top of shoulder

Damaged bone and cartilage are removed

Prosthetic components implanted and secured

Soft tissues and muscles are repositioned

Duration: 1 – 3 hours

 

 

 

Recovery and Rehabilitation

• Hospital stay: 1–3 days
• Arm immobilized in a sling
• Pain managed with medications
• Physical therapy begins within a few days
• Gradual return to daily activities over weeks

Recovery Timeline

• Light activities: 4–6 weeks
• Full recovery: 3–6 months
• Strength and range of motion improve with physiotherapy

 

Cost Of Treatment

The cost of Shoulder Replacement or Reverse Shoulder Replacement would be in the range of Rs. 1,50,000 - 250,000 depending on the type of hospital chosen and the type of implant. There are several types of implants available in the market. The FDA approved imported implants are costlier but have better functioning and better reliability. The hospital stay would be around 5 days and the patient will have to keep the arm in a sling for 4 weeks. The physiotherapy to strengthen the shoulder muscles would start 4 weeks after the surgery and would continue for a period of 3-4 months. Full mobility would be achieved within 6 months of the surgery. However the patient will be relieved of the consistent pain immediately after the surgery. Long term use of painkillers is bad for the kidneys and therefore getting the surgery done in order to get pain relief is a better option in the long run.
