Since 1916, TADA has been the voice of Texas' franchised dealers. TADA represents the dealer body before the Texas Legislature, Congress, and regulatory agencies. It provides members with legal support, an annual conference, training and education programs, business services, a variety of informative publications, public relations on behalf of the industry, and even a consumer mediation service.

• promote the best interests of franchised new car and truck dealers, consistent with the public good;
• promote a spirit of cooperation among franchised new automobile and truck dealers, and encourage them to affiliate with local, state, and national associations;
• acquire, preserve and disseminate data and information of value to its members, the industry and the public;
• maintain good relations among customers, dealers, distributors, and manufacturers;
• maintain and promote programs for the mediation and settlement of consumer complaints;
• promote and support programs for the training of automotive service technicians and the maintenance of automotive service excellence;
