You don't want to miss this.

Hispanic Business Convention of Texas Speakers The first Latina Harris County Judge and the first Latino Hays County Judge will be speaking at the Hispanic Business Convention of Texas! We are excited to have these two vibrant leaders at your convention. Visit our website and Facebook page for updates and additional confirmed speakers. Visit our Website! The Honorable Lina Hidalgo, Harris County Judge Judge Lina Hidalgo was raised in an immigrant family. She knows first-hand the sacrifices hard-working Texans make every day to build a better life for their families. Judge Hidalgo was born in Colombia during the drug war. Her parents had two goals: to keep their children safe and to help them get a good education. Judge Hidalgo grew up in Peru and Mexico, before job opportunities brought her parents to the United States in 2005. She is a proud product of our public schools and, as her parents dreamed, she went on to a top university. She graduated from Stanford University with a degree in political science the same year she became a U.S. citizen. Since arriving in Texas, Judge Hidalgo has been committed to giving back. She has dedicated hundreds of hours to our county’s most vulnerable communities — working at the Texas Civil Rights Project, to serving as a Spanish-English medical interpreter at the Texas Medical Center and supporting immigrants in search of lost loved ones. While pursuing a joint degree in law and public policy at NYU and Harvard, Judge Hidalgo researched criminal justice policies and coordinated with advocacy groups and governments to push for reform. Wherever she has been, Judge Hidalgo has seized opportunities to serve the immigrant and incarcerated communities. In Southeast Asia, she worked to promote transparency and accountability by supporting journalists, bloggers and artists. At Stanford, she helped create and fund a program to bring Stanford students to public policy positions. Judge Hidalgo was elected on November the 6, 2018 and sworn in as Harris County Judge on January 1, 2019. Confirmed Speakers at the Hispanic Business Convention of Texas The Honorable Ruben Becerra, Hays County Judge Judge Ruben Becerra, a long-time resident of San Marcos, is the first Latino Hays County Judge in its 170-year history. Judge Becerra has served on the San Marcos Planning and Zoning Commission, Art Commission, Parks and Recreation Board, San Marcos CISD Bond Oversight Committee, San Marcos Centro Cultural Hispano de San Marcos, Gary Job Corps Community Relations Council, San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, and Texas Bobcat Athletic Foundation.  As County Judge, he is on the Capitol Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) Executive Committee, CARTS Board of Directors, CAPCOG Criminal Justice Executive Committee, Central Texas Clean Air Coalition Board, Chair of the Election Commission, Records Management Officer and Chief Budget Officer. Judge Becerra recently celebrated his 26th wedding anniversary with his wife, Monica Mendez Becerra. They have two sons. Ruben Jr. works in the family medical supply business providing prosthetics and orthotics to military veterans and breast cancer survivors and Cristian manages the family’s restaurant, Gil’s Broiler and Manske Roll, the oldest restaurant in San Marcos.  Confirmed Speakers at the Hispanic Business Convention of Texas Reserve Your Hotel TODAY - with Group Discount EMBASSY SUITES SAN MARCOS HOTEL CONFERENCE CENTER A block of rooms, at a special rate, has been reserved for TAMACC’s Hispanic Business Convention of Texas.

Keep Texas Businesses Thriving

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Keep Texas Businesses Thriving Senate Bills Propose Unfailing Regulations AUSTIN, TX May 16, 2019 – The Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce (TAMACC) and U.S. Hispanic Contractors Association fully support the Senate’s efforts to provide stability as it relates to regulating businesses in the State of Texas, especially as it relates to Hispanic-owned and operated businesses.  Hispanic Americans are a strong component of the workforce throughout the United States, and even more so in border states, like Texas. A majority-minority state, Texas constitutes one of the largest Hispanic workforces in our country and Hispanic Texans comprise an ever-increasing number of entrepreneurs opening businesses in this great state, bringing ideas to the forefront, and ultimately better benefitting Texas as a whole. Several bills presently under consideration, S.B. 2485, S.B. 2486, S.B. 2487 and S.B. 2488, seek to ensure that the strong economic environment enjoyed by all businesses currently operating across Texas as well as any future businesses looking to relocate to the Lone Star State enjoy a welcoming business climate. To do so requires keeping employment regulations consistent across the board and not open to the incongruities that can occur when local governments are able to dictate how businesses operate within their individual jurisdictions, creating confusion and unnecessary complications for employers and employees alike. The bills individually deal with specific aspects of employer regulations. Among them: Employment leave (including sick, vacation, holidays, disability, family, medical, retirement, etc.) profit-sharing and criminal history inquiries.   TAMACC and the U.S. Hispanic Contractors Association of Austin fully back passage of these bills to further the strong support that Texas has shown in the past for all businesses, and in particular, for those that are Hispanic-owned and/or operated. The bills’ primary sponsor is Brandon Creighton, R-Beaumont, along with co-sponsors, Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels and Pat Fallon, R-Denton. TAMACC and the U.S. Hispanic Contractors Association fully support these bills that bring consistency and an even playing field for businesses operating in our great State of Texas. About TAMACC The Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce (TAMACC) is a nonprofit 501 (c)(6) organization created to promote business leadership, create economic opportunities and provide legislative advocacy for the Hispanic business community in Texas. TAMACC was founded in 1975 to encourage opportunities in commerce and to organize local programs to improve the economic condition of the Hispanic population. TAMACC is an association with more than 15,000 members and advocates for over 700,000 Hispanic businesses in Texas.
