AUSTIN (Jan. 23, 2019) – The Texas House and Senate passed resolutions today recognizing the Texas Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems for its 30 years of educational and legislative advocacy for the pension plans relied on by cities, counties and special districts for their public employees. Rep. John Wray, R-Waxahachie, sponsored House Resolution 64 and Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, sponsored its Senate companion. HR 64 recognizes TEXPERS’ role in assisting pension systems to deliver retirement security for police officers, firefighters, and municipal employees, as well as employees at airport and water district authorities, hospital districts and community colleges. HR 64 notes the importance pension funds have on the Texas economy, acknowledging that retiree spending of pension earnings creates a $29 billion stimulus and $4.4 billion in federal, state and local tax revenue. The “Pensionomic” benefits of Texas and other states’ pensions was recently identified in a report by the National Institute on Retirement Security. “Public employees play a critical role in the operations of cities and counties in our state. In particular, when we call on them to respond during natural disasters such as fire, flood, or other disasters, they take care of us. For 30 years, TEXPERS has been taking care of them by supporting and assisting our public pension systems," Wray said.

A small group of individuals, who were members of several Texas public employee retirement systems, formed Texas Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems (TEXPERS) in 1989 as a statewide voluntary nonprofit association to provide quality education to trustees, administrators, professional service providers and employee groups and associations engaged or interested in the management of public employee retirement systems. The Association provides the highest quality education and services to its participating retirement systems and affiliate members. By uniting Texas public pension systems, TEXPERS works for their common interests, monitors state and federal legislative activities and enhances professional fund management and administration. Over the past 30 years, TEXPERS system and associate membership has grown substantially.
