First Tuesdays at the Capitol

  • Save the Dates for First Tuesdays at the Capitol

    The Texas Legislature meets every odd-numbered year for 140 consecutive days and will convene again Jan. 14, 2025. Legislators need to hear from you – their physician, medical student, and alliance constituents – during the session to understand how proposed legislation can potentially impact the practice of medicine in Texas.

    Mark your calendar for 2025 First Tuesdays at the Capitol.

          • February 4
          • March 4 (TMA Alliance and Young Physician Month)
          • April 1 (TMA Medical Student and Resident Month)
