Texas Charity Advocates

Texas Charity Advocates Texas Charity Advocates (TCA) is the statewide association that promotes playing bingo to the benefit of our charity members who depend on it for revenue.

The mission of TCA is simple. We are dedicated to the betterment of Texas Charitable Bingo. We believe that the most effective way to achieve this goal is to mobilize charities around the state to speak with their legislators regarding the work of their charity. Legislators are interested in the impact of charity on their communities. We will provide the necessary tools so that they may go and spe

ak to their representatives about the charities with which they are involved. We will also collect information about the charities of Texas and present it on behalf of the charities. We believe that through the education of members of the Texas Legislature and the people of Texas, we can have a positive impact on charities. As citizens we can support these charities by playing bingo in our local charitable bingo halls.

Grateful to Senfronia Thompson for authoring HB 4172 and passing in the House. Hoping the Senate will follow Judith Zaffirini, Texas State Senator in passing it too. Texas charities are grateful for your support and work on their behalf!

Let’s Go Bingo!

The mission of TCA is simple. We promote playing bingo and we advocate for changes in the way it’s governed and regulated in Texas. Why? Because almost 1,000 charitable organizations depend on it to generate revenue to carry out their mission in your community.

In 2017, non-profits ranging from girls and boys clubs to VFW halls, from volunteer fire departments to animal rescue centers, from museums to health care clinics generated almost $34 million to fund their operations.

The charity bingo operators, and their clients, are the only winners. A study presented by TCA in 2019 showed the game creates almost half-billion dollars in total economic activity in Texas. And, it supports almost 3,000 direct and indirect jobs.

And, don’t forget, neighborhood bingo halls across the state awarded nearly $600 million in prizes to their playing customers in 2017. That’s about $1.6 million 24/7/365!
