Thanks to Jordan Duggan and the team at the Texas Panhandle Builders Association for hosting a great conversation on the TPBA Builder Talk Podcast! 🎙️
TAB President Chris Lyons and CEO Scott Norman joined the show for an “All About TAB” deep dive—and it’s well worth a listen.
From how the Texas Association of Builders works alongside 27 local HBAs (like TPBA) to amplify the industry’s voice, to behind-the-scenes insight on advocacy that shapes housing policy across Texas—this episode covers a lot of ground.
đź’ˇ Highlights include:
• Major legislative wins from the 89th Session (impact fees, moratorium reform, liability updates, and workforce funding)
• The real drivers of housing affordability—and why regulation plays such a big role
• Workforce challenges and the growing momentum behind career and technical education
• Why AI won’t be replacing builders anytime soon
• The tangible value of TAB membership—from contracts to rebates to networking
• A look ahead to the Sunbelt Builders Show celebrating 25 years this summer
Whether you’re a builder, associate, or industry partner, this episode offers practical insight, perspective, and a reminder of the power of being connected at the local, state, and national levels.
