Please join us in celebrating Brandons 1 Year TEXO Anniversary🎉💥👏

"In just a short time, Brandon has learned “association life” faster than most- He has become the backbone of our Fort Worth office, handling everything from ordering food for member meetings to helping bring together various Tarrant County groups connected to commercial construction and TEXO.
Brandon’s attitude is what really stands out. He’s always willing to do whatever is needed — whether that means coming in on a weekend, jumping in to help at an event, and going above and beyond what is expected.
On top of that, he balances all of this while serving in the Marine Reserves, which makes his commitment even more meaningful.
Brandon, thank you for your hard work, flexibility, and the positive energy you bring to TEXO every day. We appreciate you and are grateful to have you on the team.
Please join me in congratulating Brandon on a great first year!" -Todd Holtz, VP of Operations

We are so proud to celebrate a key player of the TEXO family and the future of the construction industry... LARINDA'S 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY👏❤️

"It has been incredible to watch the impact she has made in helping the TEXO Foundation become a recognizable and respected name within the construction industry, high schools across North Texas, and colleges throughout the region. She constantly curates big ideas to take it even further and we can’t wait to see it all come together.
She has brought so much to the TEXO Team and the TEXO Foundation. She will never shy away from a challenge and is always willing to step up to support others, including our team, our members, and the communities we serve. Congratulations, Larinda, and thank you for everything you do for TEXO!" -VP of Training and Development, Terri Gaber

We are so excited to celebrate a very special 1 year TEXO Team Anniversary to our very own member extraordinaire... JOANNA!👏💙

"Two of TEXO’s core values are 'Deliver Awesome' and 'Serve With Passion' and these two values describe Joanna perfectly! This last year she has steps into many roles including marketing, communications and most recently she has taken a bigger role with membership. Her genuine love for people and heart to make every interaction with members valuable have made her first year at TEXO fly by! We are grateful for all she brings to our TEXO team, our members and the entire construction community. We can’t wait to watch what she conquers in year two on our team! Keep pushing us to new heights!"
- President & CEO, Meloni Raney
