Texas Construction Association

We're shining a spotlight on Dennis Bevans, who serves as Treasurer on the TCA Board! 🌟

Dennis became involved with TCA through his service with the Texas Glass Association, where he currently serves on the board. After becoming more involved in industry leadership, he was asked to represent TGA within TCA and has been serving on the TCA Board for the past year. With a background in accounting, Dennis was a natural fit for the Treasurer role when the opportunity came along.

Dennis is passionate about issues impacting trade contractors across Texas, particularly EMR usage and retainage reform. He believes that many of the challenges facing the construction industry affect trade contractors in similar ways, and that bringing those voices together helps create a stronger voice for positive change. He also values the opportunity to better understand the work happening behind the scenes to support the industry.

Outside of TCA, Dennis serves as Chief Executive of Anchor-Ventana Glass, a full service residential and commercial glass company that has been serving customers for more than 45 years and has completed over 500,000 projects. 🏗️

Thank you, Dennis, for your leadership and service to TCA! 🙌

With the 2026 Texas Primary Runoff Elections now complete, the slate of candidates for the November General Election is officially set.

Republicans continue to hold every statewide office and maintain strong majorities in both the Texas House and Senate. As the election season moves forward, attention will turn to whether increased Democratic enthusiasm and a challenging national political environment lead to shifts at the ballot box, or whether Texas' long-standing voting patterns and Republican advantages remain in place. 🗳️

While November is still months away, these races will help shape the conversations and policy decisions that impact Texans and Texas businesses. As always, TCA's Austin team is closely monitoring developments and keeping members informed on the issues and elections that matter to our industry. 👀

TCA was proud to support HB 120 during the 89th Legislative Session, legislation aimed at strengthening and expanding career and technical education opportunities for Texas students 📘. The bill broadens access to dual credit programs, technical education pathways, and career advising while providing significant funding to help schools expand these opportunities.

Creating more pathways for students to explore careers and technical training is an important part of building Texas’ future workforce. A strong construction industry starts with investing in the next generation of skilled workers. 🏗️

We’re shining a spotlight on Brian Shahan, who currently serves as Secretary on the TCA Board! ⭐

Brian first became involved with TCA through his leadership with the Paint Contractors Association in the Dallas Fort Worth area. After learning more about TCA’s mission and advocacy efforts on behalf of subcontractors across Texas, he jumped at the opportunity to serve.

Brian was elected Treasurer in February 2025 before stepping into the role of Secretary earlier this year. He shared that serving on the Board has been a valuable opportunity to learn from talented industry leaders while continuing to support subcontractors across Texas.

One of Brian’s goals is to participate in TCA’s Walk on the Capitol in 2027 and meet directly with legislators to discuss issues important to the construction industry. He also believes one of TCA’s biggest opportunities is continuing to grow awareness about the organization and helping more people across the industry understand its mission and impact. One of the most rewarding parts of serving with TCA for Brian has been the relationships built along the way and the chance to learn from others throughout the industry. 🤝

Outside of TCA, Brian serves as President of Shahan & Son Painting Ltd., a third-generation commercial painting company founded in 1946 and known for its long-standing commitment to quality and customer service. 🏗️

Thank you, Brian, for your leadership and commitment to supporting the future of construction in Texas.
