TPA Associate Members. Read September 27, 2026. Current associate member roster (undated page); associate membership is for firms selling newspaper supplies and services. Universities, foundations, associations, UIL, Texas Tribune and TPA's own Texas Press Service left out. A 2026 convention sponsor graphic exists but is a single image with no readable text, so it is not recorded.

Their shape
The Guild
Where mastery is the price of belonging.
The Guild is the keeper of a craft and its standards, where belonging means meeting a real bar. Its gift is depth and trusted expertise, its challenge is opening up to newcomers and new ways.
Also reads toward The League and The Movement.
