Founded in 1946 by dedicated state employees, the Texas Public Employees Association (TPEA) has advocated for over 75 years to promote and enhance the compensation and quality benefits provided to state employees and retirees—the benefits that make it possible for Texans to devote themselves to careers in public service.

For state employees and retirees, the Legislature determines everything from pay scale, pay raises to pensions and other benefits such as health insurance, holiday hours, and even remote work. Every session brings changes that could affect state employees and retirees. When you are a TPEA member, you support an organization focused on your interests today and into the future. TPEA works for our members -- and with more members, we have more power to represent you. Invest in yourself today. Become a member.
