What Texas Water Infrastructure Network (txwin) does

Texas Water Infrastructure Network (TXWIN) is a 501(c)(6) trade association founded in 2013 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. It is described as the only statewide industry association solely dedicated to water infrastructure design and construction in Texas. TXWIN represents general contractors, specialty/subcontractors, manufacturers, fabricators, equipment manufacturer representatives, law firms, consultants, and engineering companies involved in the Texas water infrastructure sector, and works directly with the Texas Legislature, the Texas Water Development Board, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Texas Railroad Commission, the U.S. EPA Office of Water, and a coalition of other water trade associations.

TXWIN does not offer a unified software product; its 'core technology' is policy advocacy, education, and research. Its service portfolio is organized into four pillars — Advocacy, Market Information, Project Delivery, and Funding — plus the annual Texas Water Capital Needs Survey, now in its fourth year and conducted with a coalition of partner associations (Collaborative Water Resolution/Water Opinions, AWBD, AWWA Texas Section, WEAT, TRWA, TWF, TWCA). Documented legislative achievements include eliminating the CMAR loophole, reforming retainage law, ensuring fair domestic purchasing requirements, and reforming ESPC contracting law in Texas.

TXWIN's revenue model is annual membership dues billed on a recurring basis across multiple member categories; specific pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed and are handled through direct inquiry. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors (Chairman Mark Boyer of Boyer Inc., Vice Chairman Jake Stones of McCarthy Building Companies, Immediate Past Chairman Jeff Chapman of Chapman Law Firm PLLC) and led day-to-day by Executive Director Perry Fowler, with government affairs support from Adam Leggett of GRPR. Distribution is direct membership enrollment via the website and industry advocacy channels. No headcount, revenue, or membership count is publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA): National trade association for utility infrastructure contractors (water, sewer, gas, telecom); operates at the federal level where TXWIN focuses on Texas, but member companies overlap and policy positions on SRF and procurement align.
• American Council of Engineering Companies of Texas (ACEC Texas): Texas state chapter representing engineering firms; partner organization of TXWIN and overlapping membership, with parallel advocacy on procurement, qualification-based selection, and infrastructure funding in Texas.
• Associated Builders and Contractors of Texas (ABC Texas): Larger statewide construction trade association covering all commercial and infrastructure segments; broader remit than TXWIN but competes for the same Texas contractor members and engages on similar public contracting legislation.
• Associated General Contractors of America – Texas (AGC Texas Chapters): Major national construction trade association with Texas chapters that represent general contractors including water infrastructure builders; overlapping membership base and competing advocacy voice on contracting laws.

Direct peers

• Texas Rural Water Association (TRWA): Statewide association serving rural water and wastewater systems in Texas; comparable nonprofit trade-association structure and shared policy advocacy focus on Texas water infrastructure funding and operations.
• Texas Water Utilities Association (TXUWA): Texas association for water utility operators and managers; directly comparable member base and policy advocacy remit on water infrastructure operations, procurement, and funding matters in Texas.
• Water Environment Association of Texas (WEAT): Texas-based trade association representing the water quality and wastewater sector; a direct peer as TXWIN's members build the infrastructure WEAT's members design and operate, and the two organizations co-publish the annual Capital Needs Survey.
• American Water Works Association Texas Section (AWWA Texas): Texas section of the national AWWA association focused on drinking water; comparable in mission scope (water sector advocacy, education, research) and a survey partner of TXWIN, serving overlapping but distinct Texas water stakeholder audiences.

Regional players

• Texas Municipal League: Texas-based association of municipalities that are the principal owners/buyers of water infrastructure; not a direct competitor, but represents the public-owner side of the procurement relationships TXWIN members depend on.

Emerging players

• Texas Water Foundation (TWF): Texas nonprofit focused on water research and education; co-publishes TXWIN's Capital Needs Survey and operates adjacent to TXWIN on water-policy thought leadership without directly competing for contractor membership.
