The annual Tarrant County Days event took place in Austin on February 10 and 11, coinciding with the 89th Texas Legislative Session. City of Fort Worth staff attended to engage with state legislators and other key figures.
During the two-day event, participants had the opportunity to network with elected officials, local leaders, and business representatives at the State Capitol. The agenda included discussions led by members of the Texas Legislature, such as Speaker Dustin Burrows. Fort Worth officials also held small group meetings with their delegation to address the city's legislative priorities.
