About the Public Citizen Texas Office

Founded in 1984, the Texas Office of Public Citizen has advocated for a clean environment, innovative energy policies, and a state government that prioritizes the interests of the people over those of corporations.

Public Citizen’s Texas team carries out its mission by engaging with the Texas Legislature at the Capitol in Austin and the state’s regulatory agencies, including the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Public Utility Commission, and the oil and gas regulator, the Railroad Commission of Texas. The Texas office also has full-time staff members in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston to work with local communities and their leaders.

When you turn on your lights, submit an insurance claim, file a complaint about your doctor or lawyer, inquire about political contributions to your legislators, buy gas, rent a car, recycle a product, appear before a judge at an administrative agency, or hear about a dangerous product, your rights have been affected by the work of Public Citizen’s Texas office.

The Public Citizen Texas office has grown to include nine full-time staff members, numerous contractors, and interns. Since 2017, the office has been led by Public Citizen Texas Director Adrian Shelley.
