Texas Nurse Practitioners

What Texas Nurse Practitioners does

Texas Nurse Practitioners (TNP) is a non-profit professional membership association founded in 1989 and headquartered at 4425 S. Mopac Expressway, Building III, Suite 405, Austin, Texas. It self-identifies as the largest state association of nurse practitioners in the country, serving nurse practitioners (NPs), NP students, and healthcare industry partners across Texas through advocacy, continuing education, publications, conferences, and career services. The organization coordinates the Texans for Healthcare Access Coalition of 40+ organizations, operates a Legislative Ambassador Program of 200+ NPs, and runs a Political Action Committee (TNP PAC) to advance scope-of-practice reform and rural healthcare access.

TNP's product and service portfolio spans conferences (Annual Conference at Moody Gardens in 2026; NP Pharmacology Conference + Psych/Mental Health Pre-Conference in April 2026, offering up to 16 CE credits), publications (TNP Pulse quarterly magazine reaching 5,200+ NPs and NP students; TNP Healthcare Headlines weekly e-newsletter distributed via MultiView), an On-Demand CE Center, a TNP Career Center job board, a member-only Practice Consultant service, and affiliated charitable programs under the TNP Foundation (CE grants and emergency assistance). The underlying technology is non-proprietary: TNP operates standard digital channels including a WordPress-based website, member portal, e-commerce store, and online CE platform, with no disclosed AI/ML, API, or proprietary software products.

TNP's revenue model is diversified across six streams: individual and corporate membership dues (subscription/recurring), conference and event registration (one-time), advertising and sponsorships (TNP Pulse ad rates range from $400 for quarter-page to $1,000 for full-page, plus e-newsletter sponsorships via MultiView), merchandise and publications, continuing education programs, and corporate memberships. Pricing is not publicly disclosed for membership tiers beyond promotional discounts (e.g., $30 off during NP Week 2024 with code NPWeek2024). Distribution is entirely domestic (Texas), conducted through the website, member portal, career center, in-person conferences, and grassroots advocacy channels. Leadership is provided by an elected Board of Directors, with Erin Pérez serving as President during 2025 and Tracy Hicks as President by October 2025; the 2026-2027 board was elected in May 2026.

Direct peers

• American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP): National professional association for nurse practitioners of which TNP is effectively a state-level affiliate/peer. Both provide CE, advocacy, conferences, and member services to the same NP customer base across overlapping geographies.
• New York State Nurse Practitioners Association: State NP association offering membership, legislative advocacy, and CE—peer in operating model, though in a state with different scope-of-practice dynamics than Texas.
• Florida Association of Nurse Practitioners: Another large state NP association offering similar membership, advocacy, CE, and conference programming in a different state. Directly comparable as a parallel state-level NP association model.
• California Association for Nurse Practitioners: Major state NP association serving California NPs with advocacy, education, and events—directly comparable in mission, scale, and revenue mix to TNP.

Broad incumbents

• Texas Hospital Association: Texas-based healthcare industry association; overlaps with TNP on healthcare policy advocacy, workforce issues, and rural access reform within the same state.
• Texas Medical Association: Dominant state-level professional association for Texas physicians; operates as an incumbent healthcare advocacy body in the same legislative arena TNP competes in on scope-of-practice reform.
• American Nurses Association (ANA): Broader nursing professional association serving registered nurses across the U.S. Overlapping membership, advocacy, and CE functions but covering the entire nursing profession rather than the NP subset.

Emerging players

• American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA): National professional association for Physician Associates, a parallel advanced-practice provider group pursuing similar scope-of-practice advocacy. Comparable membership/advocacy/CME business model to TNP.
