The Texas Silver-Haired Legislature’s Mission is to promote good government for all Texans by directly involving Senior citizens in the legislative process. TSHL provides a nonpartisan forum for discussion and debate of Senior issues, advocacy training and an avenue through which older citizens may serve as a resource to both public and private sectors.

The Silver-Haired Legislature was founded in 1973 in Missouri and has since been adopted in 31 states. Conceived in 1979, the Texas Silver-Haired Legislature was formed in 1985 by the 69th Texas Legislature. The elected members of the TSHL met for the first time for a training session in July 1986. This nonpartisan and non-profit organization is composed of 116 representatives elected to two-year terms by Texans over 60 years of age.
