PBT New Feature- CLICK TO CALL Help Us Defeat SB 1151



Help Us Use Our New Feature- CLICK TO CALL
to Defeat SB 1151

PBT is announcing the release of a new feature- "CLICK TO CALL." This feature allows you to click to dial the committee members to give their office a three sentence script letting them know that the bail industry opposes SB 1151. If you use the link below on your cell phone, it will give you the list of Senators to call and the script to give to each office.

The message is as follows:

***

My name is [INSERT NAME]. I am calling on behalf of the Professional Bondsmen of Texas and I am asking you to vote against SB 1151. The bill prevents bondsmen from doing their jobs. It also is a huge unfunded mandate to counties and the bill has many technical deficiencies and contradictions so that it fails to do what it says it will do. Please vote agaisnt SB 1151.

(If you are a constitutent of one of the Senators mention that as well).

***

If you are willing to participate in our CLICK TO CALL program CLICK HERE. Please use the script and be respectful to the offices. If you have any feedback to share with our committee please forward to txbailbondassoc@gmail.com.

Thank you so much for your willingness to assist in getting our message out so that we can continue to fight for our industry.
