WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Independent Automobile Dealers

2025; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1944, TIADA is a nonprofit trade
association dedicated to supporting Texas independent automobile
dealers through advocacy, education, and promotion; the

and
WHEREAS, With more than 1,400 members, TIADA plays a
significant role in the economy; during the 2024 fiscal year, Texas

association's members further contribute to their communities
through charitable donations and civic involvement; and
WHEREAS, For more than eight decades, TIADA has worked
tirelessly to support independent automobile dealers, and this
occasion provides a fitting opportunity to honor the organization
and its members; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature
hereby recognize February 11, 2025, as Texas Independent Automobile
Dealers Association Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm
welcome to the visiting delegation; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for TIADA as an expression of high regard by the Texas
