Steward of the common ground shared by all neighborhoods
in Texas
Founded and chartered in 1989, Texas Neighborhoods Together (TNT),
a Texas nonprofit corporation, serves as a permanent statewide organization for
community-based alliances that represent neighborhoods on a citywide or larger basis.
An all-volunteer organization, TNT works to empower neighborhood leaders

at all levels of government.
TNT’s mission is to advance neighborhood interests on the local, state,
and national levels by:

Advancing the concept of neighborhood self-determination
-
Encouraging more effective participation of citizens in local, county, and state
government
-
Enhancing the quality of life for all citizens of Texas
-
Supporting city ordinances as well as state and federal laws and regulations conducive
to these ends.
A board of directors elected annually by its member organizations coordinates TNT’s
programs and actions. The Board meets the first Saturday of even-numbered months
