Save Muni Wireless

We are a coalition of Texas organizations and citizens concerned about the provisions in HB 789 that would outlaw any municipal involvement in networks or information services. We are working to ensure HB 789 supports competition and innovation and helps Texans, not just the incumbent communication providers.
