Welcome!

The Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN) is a MAINSTREAM voice for animal protection. THLN has been promoting the humane treatment of animals via legislation, education and advocacy for over thirty years.

A statewide grassroots organization that fights for effective anti-cruelty laws, The Network addresses many animal concerns. Each legislative session, The Network is on the front lines working to PASS major animal protection bills. We have been the driving force behind the passage of dozens of bills into law as well as the defeat of many anti-animal welfare bills.

Advancing the cause of animal protection means not only overcoming formidable opposition from well-funded powerful special interests, but ignorance and apathy as well.

As humanitarians, it is essential that caring people work together effectively to change our culture's all too often passive acceptance of animal suffering and their exploitation.

THLN is the ONLY organization in Texas whose resources are totally committed to the passage of animal protection legislation. The Network coordinates individuals and groups via regional local chapters throughout the state to form a united and powerful front for animal advocacy in the Texas Legislature.

We encourage you to join The Network to help make a positive difference for the animals of Texas. We hold monthly volunteer and member meetings in the Dallas Fort Worth area, as well as ongoing communications via our website at www.thln.org and email. During these monthly informal and open discussion meetings we address various issues and concerns, set agendas, plan fundraising events and marketing campaigns, and discuss the many legislative bills The Network is currently tracking, both in support and opposition of.

We are expanding and currently need volunteers and members in our four THLN divisions; legislation, fundraising, marketing and personal relations. We welcome you to our dynamic Network and look forward to meeting you face to face, working together and accomplishing the mutual goals that are only possible with your help! Thank you!
