TDA reveals priorities for 85th Legislative Session

The 85th Legislative Session will get underway at the State Capitol on Jan. 10, and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) will focus on a variety of issues impacting the agriculture industry. Among the agency’s main priorities are continuing to expand international and domestic trade programs to help promote Texas agricultural products; ensuring the integrity of the state metrology lab through remedial construction; replacing outdated information technology systems; creating a centralized accounting and payroll/personnel system; and addressing agency budgetary concerns. The dedicated folks at TDA are working on these issues with one goal in mind — improving their valuable services for the taxpayers of Texas and the agriculture industry as a whole.
