Every client has a real “stake”
in Texas –
its business, its politics, its people, its culture
Texas business and politics
are wild, free and independent . . .
Former member
of the Texas House of Representatives, Phil Cates,
knew this when he followed his vision for his fledgling
company in 1996. Texas Stakeholders would lobby
the Texas Legislature and Texas state agencies on
behalf of businesses and trade associations, but
he also knew there were plenty of other lobbyists
doing and saying the same things.
True grit
action and balanced experience are necessary on many
different levels . . .
Texas Stakeholders will build
the most powerful strategies for the strongest case
possible. Phil Cates set out to and succeeded in
creating an organization that met needs as well
as bringing additional services to clients seeking
professional, substantive representation within
the great state government of Texas. He accomplished
this by bringing together a team of professionals,
from varied backgrounds and industries, that are
committed individually and together to providing
the highest level of service in the legislative
arena. These minds encompass the utmost expertise
in advocacy, public policy, strategic planning,
government relations, public relations and marketing.
A real working relationship
promotes success with distinction . . .
Although services usually center
on state government, traditionally every client
has very different requirements and needed solutions.
By bringing together a committed group of professionals
from varied backgrounds and industries, Texas Stakeholders
tailors lobby teams that provide each client with
a unique approach to its dynamic public policy needs.
Texas Stakeholders believes in having a real relationship
with clients, in order to accomplish the tasks at
hand. Issue framing, integrated government solutions,
coalition building and message development bring
about results. Texas Stakeholders offers a team
with backgrounds that include the Texas Legislature,
executive branch expertise, business strategy and
promotion to assist its clients in accomplishing
one or more of the following in a manor that addresses
the entire spirit of a company and its goals:
• Passing, killing and/or amending
legislation being considered by the Texas Legislature.
• Monitoring the Texas Legislature
during regular and special sessions and the interim.
• Guiding companies and individuals
through the governmental red tape of state agencies.
• Providing access to governmental
officials who will listen and offer solutions.
• Bringing business associations
together with regulatory agencies and legislators
for the mutual benefit of government and the private
sector.
• Assisting with market development
and procurement for the sale of client products
and services to state and local government entities.
• Providing guidance on political
protocol on local and state level.
