TBR accomplishes this, in part, by providing a forum in which the business community and state leaders can meet and discuss issues of common concern. TBR members meet for breakfast each week during the legislative session and host members of the Texas Senate, Texas House of Representatives, and other state leaders for discussions of legislative issues and activity. During campaign season, the group meets with candidates for the legislature and other elective positions in Texas government.
