REALTOR® Day at the Texas Capitol is a cornerstone event in the association’s advocacy efforts.

This event is usually held in person at the Texas Capitol during the legislative session; however, Texas REALTORS® is adapting this year’s event by hosting virtual meetings with all 181 members of the 87th Texas Legislature in March and April.

The 2021 legislative session looks different than years past, and the need for REALTORS® to advocate for Texas real estate is greater than ever. 

To participate, please visit texasrealestate.com/realtorday to RSVP for meetings with your state senator and state representative and to add the Opening Session and Closing Session to your calendar. REALTORS® must RSVP to be notified when the meetings are scheduled and to receive the Zoom meeting info.
