The group is described as the largest state lodging association in the United States, representing more than 5,000 member properties ranging from major convention hotels to small bed-and-breakfasts. Its services include governmental affairs representation, legal services for lodging properties, online directory listings, and endorsed vendor programs. The association supports lodging providers through policy advocacy, legal services, and access to industry networks and resources. In early 2026, it concluded the 79th Annual THLA Hotel Short Course, a five-day program intended to develop leadership and operational expertise for hospitality professionals across Texas.
