TXP is an economic analysis and public policy consulting firm founded in 1987 in Austin, Texas. Since then, TXP has grown into a team of professionals whose diverse backgrounds allow us to craft customized solutions to client problems. Our clients have discovered that TXP is the firm to hire when there is not an immediate, obvious, or simple solution to their economic or public policy challenge. Our reputation for having the right people to analyze issues from a variety of perspectives has made TXP the firm to call first for professionals in the public sector and business arenas. In addition to drawing on the expertise of our firm members, we regularly partner with urban planning, engineering, and public policy firms — as well as Ph.D.s in varying disciplines — to put together teams uniquely suited to our clients' needs.

TXP consults on a range of projects across the country. Our best work happens when we help our clients define and shape an emerging issue; the sooner we're brought into the process, the better the outcome. During the electricity deregulation crisis in California, TXP led the team hired by the California State Auditor's Office to determine the underlying causes of the problem and recommend solutions. TXP was also engaged by a small business advocacy group to measure the economic impacts of the introduction of retail competition into the provision of electricity in all fifty states. For a number of years, TXP provided an analysis of regional economic trends for the Wall Street Journal's New England, Texas, and Pacific Northwest editions.

In addition, TXP has a long-standing consulting relationship with the City of Austin on topics ranging from traditional economic development to the growing role of film and music in the region's economy. We have worked with a wide range of not-for-profits and private sector clients to provide illumination through analytical support, always with a strategic view of the big picture. Members of TXP are involved in the community and understand the challenges faced by an increasingly complex world, as heightened media attention and an ever more diverse set of stakeholders shine a brighter spotlight on public decision-making and public policy.
