The Texas Public Policy Foundation is a mid-sized public policy organization based in Austin, Texas. It seeks to influence policy at the state and national levels by promoting liberty, personal responsibility, and free enterprise through academically sound research and outreach. The foundation positions itself as a source of ideas to help policymakers chart a new direction for government and to inform the public policy debate. Its work targets policymakers and the broader Texas policy community, providing research-driven analysis and convening events to educate and affect policy discussions. A recent development includes appointing Sam Westrop as Senior Fellow in May 2026, reflecting ongoing efforts to address contemporary policy challenges; the organization has also pursued initiatives such as a state AI regulation roadmap issued in 2024.
