The Texas Association of Landmen is a new organization formed to give independent and company landmen a voice in the Texas legislature. Legislative Strategies, LLC will be their legislative advocates (i.e. lobbyists) and will look out for their interests. We will also administer association membership and develop a website (www.TALandmen.org). We're currently evaluating alternative approaches to site development and offer this presentation in support of our recommendation to use Google's "Cloud Computing" software.
