FACT SHEET
Once Again, Staples Fails Texans
FACT: Staples took thousands from lobby groups that wanted to weaken consumer
protection laws related to structural pest control. The Texas Apartment Association
and Texas Pest Control Association both supported weakening consumer protection laws
related to structural pest control. [Witness List, House Committee on Agriculture,
Hearing on HB 2038, 81st Texas Legislature.] Many of the changes proposed to weaken
consumer protection requirements related to structural pest control under HB 2038 are
incorporated into SB 1016. [SB 1016, 81st Texas Legislature]. The Texas Apartment
Association and Texas Pest Control Association PACs have given thousands to Staples.
