The Texas Retailers Association advocates on behalf of our members and industry, in front of lawmakers and government agencies, to defend their business interests and needs. Additionally, TRA serves as a trusted industry resource for retailers doing business in Texas, through any number of opportunities to engage with TRA and fellow retailers.  Through our Texas Retailers Education Foundation, T.R.E.F., we support educational programs and scholarships at the college and high school levels to promote paths to professional careers in retail. And, we are leading the way with innovative efforts, such as our Organized Retail Crime/Loss Prevention initiatives. TRA is a national leader in addressing theft of retail plastic products, which cost retailers and their customers millions every year.
