TMHA: Texas Manufactured Housing Association

What TMHA: Texas Manufactured Housing Association does

TMHA (Texas Manufactured Housing Association) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade association founded in 1952 and headquartered in Austin, Texas at 4520 Spicewood Springs Rd, Suite 200. It is the only manufactured housing trade association operating in Texas, representing more than 1,400 member companies across manufacturers, retailers, manufactured home community owners/operators, lenders, and suppliers. The association is led by Executive Director DJ Pendleton, with Rob Ripperda as VP of Operations, Vicki Plummer as Director of Accounting/Membership, and Caitlin Nauert Whatley as Director of Events and Communications, operating with a small staff of fewer than 10 employees.

The association's service portfolio is organized around four pillars: (1) legislative advocacy and PAC operations at the Texas Legislature and federal level, including active engagement on SB 785 and tracking of laws effective September 1, 2025; (2) member-exclusive resources, including industry-specific legal forms, retail selling guides, lease agreements, eviction templates, and HUD-code references developed by legal specialists; (3) state-approved continuing education courses for TDHCA license renewal; and (4) market intelligence delivered through Texas-specific retail sales reports, manufacturer shipment data, average sales price analysis, Google search trend data, community statistics, and a member-only Stat Tracker. The association also runs an annual convention at Horseshoe Bay Resort, quarterly board meetings across Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas/Houston, and a TMHA Scholarship program.

TMHA generates revenue through annual membership dues collected each June, recurring annual media sponsorships from major industry players (including RHP Properties, Triad Financial Services, Cavco Manufacturing, Clayton, Champion Homes, Oliver Technologies, Lamb Communities, Mobile Insurance, and Cirrus Solutions), and event revenue from the annual convention and quarterly board meetings. The organization operates a public website (texasmha.com) and a member portal (members.texasmha.com) with PCI-DSS compliant payment processing via Authorize.net for online renewals and transactions. Distribution is direct, with a sales-led membership motion and a self-serve renewal channel, supported by organic social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and X.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• National Association of Home Builders (NAHB): National trade association representing the broader home building industry. Overlaps with TMHA's mission in advocacy for attainable housing but covers site-built construction, remodeling, and development well beyond factory-built housing.
• Texas Association of Builders (TAB): Statewide trade association representing the broader residential and commercial construction industry in Texas. Comparable as a Texas-based construction industry association with advocacy and member services, but broader in scope than TMHA's manufactured housing focus.

Regional players

• Texas Apartment Association (TAA): Texas statewide association representing the rental housing industry. A peer in being a Texas-based housing industry trade association with advocacy and member services, but focused on multifamily rental rather than factory-built homeownership.

Direct peers

• Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI): National trade association for the manufactured housing industry. Directly comparable as the federal-level counterpart to TMHA's state-level role, serving many of the same manufacturers (Clayton, Champion, Cavco) and providing overlapping advocacy, education, and member resources.
• Florida Manufactured Housing Association: State-level manufactured housing trade association in Florida, the largest manufactured housing market by units. Operates with a parallel membership, advocacy, and member-services model in a different geographic jurisdiction.
• North Carolina Manufactured Housing Institute (NCMHI): North Carolina's state-level manufactured housing association. A peer in structure (membership trade association providing advocacy, education, and resources) serving a comparable manufactured housing market in a different state.
• California Manufactured Housing Institute (CMHI): California's statewide manufactured housing trade association. Closely analogous to TMHA in mission — advocating for factory-built housing, providing member resources, and engaging state regulators — but in a different state with distinct zoning and regulatory dynamics.

Others

• Manufactured Home Owners Association of America (MHOAA): National consumer-focused organization representing manufactured home residents and owners. Comparable in advocacy orientation but focused on resident rights rather than industry business interests, making it a thematic rather than direct peer.
