SUMMARY:Thursday\, February 12th\, 2026:  Immigration Enforcement in 2026 | What Texas Hospitality Leaders Need to Know Webinar
DESCRIPTION:For years\, many hospitality employers operated under the assumption that ICE enforcement was unlikely. That landscape has changed – dramatically. \nIn this timely webinar\, Jacob Monty\, founding partner of Monty & Ramirez LLP and a nationally recognized authority on employer immigration compliance\, will break down recent ICE workforce investigations and explain what Texas hotel and lodging employers should expect as enforcement accelerates in 2026. \nWith the Trump Administration signaling a far more aggressive posture toward employer enforcement\, businesses should be prepared for increased I-9 audits\, targeted employee arrests\, search warrants\, record seizures\, and expanded ICE investigations. The session will also examine how ICE uses SSA mismatch data\, E-Verify indicators\, and IRS-related anomalies to identify enforcement targets – issues that disproportionately affect hospitality employers with large\, high-turnover workforces. \nAttendees will gain practical guidance on assessing risk\, preparing for inspections\, and reducing exposure before ICE shows up at the door.  Please register here. \n

SUMMARY:Thursday\, December 12th\, 2024:  THLA/HLAGH/AAHOA Legislative Summit with Local State Legislators - Houston\, TX
DESCRIPTION:The Texas Hotel & Lodging Association\, in conjunction with the Hotel & Lodging Association of Greater Houston and the Asian American Hotel Owner’s Association\, is holding a Houston Area Legislative Summit on December 12th at The Hotel Laura Houston Downtown (1070 Dallas ST. Houston\, TX 77002).  The event will be held between 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.\, with registration\, networking at 7:15 a.m.\, and a full breakfast served between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. \nThe Legislative Summit will include a moderated Q&A with State Senators and State Representatives from the Greater Houston area.  These legislative summits effectively secure support and feedback from state officials on the top legislative priorities of the Texas lodging industry.  For example\, we will be asking the elected state officials about items such as  1) the $160 million in state funding for promotion of Texas as a Tourism Destination; 2) Continued Support for the State Event Trust Fund and Major Events Reimbursement Program; 3) Maintaining the Requirement that Local Hotel Tax Uses Directly Promote Tourism/Hotel Activity; 4) Opposition to Pre-emption of Cities from Regulating the Proliferation of Short Term Rentals.  We will also ask each legislator to briefly talk about their priorities and concerns for the upcoming legislative session. \nThe sponsored cost will be $15 per person for individual seats or $100 for a table of ten\, and there is a reduced cost of valet parking at $12.   The Hotel Laura will provide an excellent sit-down breakfast\, a great way to start your day.   If possible\, we ask that your hotel seek to register a table of 10 attendees to support this event. Please register your attendees as soon as possible\, as the event is sure to sell out!  Click here to register. \nThanks in advance for your support and participation. \nStephanie Haynes                 Scott Joslove                        Miraj Patel \n  \n
