Welcome to the
TEXAS SHORT-TERM RENTAL ASSOCIATION
The Texas Short-Term Rental Association (TXSTRA) works to advance fair and workable short-term rental policies across the state. We support lawful, responsible hosting and share best practices so short-term rentals can operate successfully while respecting local communities and Texas property rights.
Responsible short-term rentals play an important role in Texas tourism, local economies, and housing choice. TXSTRA brings together owners, managers, and industry partners to ensure the STR industry has a strong, informed voice at the table. Our work is focused on:
Advocating for Fair Rules
Supporting balanced regulations that respect private property rights, provide clarity for operators, and address legitimate community concerns.
Encouraging Responsible Operations
Sharing education, guidance, and best practices that help hosts comply with local laws and operate safely, professionally, and responsibly.
Building Productive Relationships
Facilitating collaboration between STR operators, neighbors, and policymakers to reduce conflict and create practical, community-supported solutions.
Strengthening Local Economies
Highlighting the role short-term rentals play in supporting tourism, small businesses, and local jobs throughout Texas.
