About Us

— About us

The Texas Motorcycle Dealers Association (TMDA) is the statewide trade association representing powersports dealerships in nearly every community across Texas. TMDA serves as the collective voice of Texas dealers before the Texas Legislature, state agencies, and regulatory bodies, advocating for fair and effective policies that strengthen the business and future of motorcycling in our state.

As the dealer’s advocate in manufacturer and distributor relations, TMDA works to address dealer concerns, influence legislation, and protect the interests of Texas powersports retailers. The association also provides educational training programs, regulatory guidance, and an annual conference, giving members access to the resources and relationships they need to succeed.

TMDA’s advocacy has resulted in major wins for Texas dealers, including:

Securing “essential business” status during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing dealerships to remain open and continue serving customers.

Successfully raising the DOC fee cap to $200 (effective September 2024) to help dealers recover title and registration costs.

Partnering with TADA (Texas Auto Dealers Association) to defend franchise rights and prevent direct-to-consumer sales that bypass local dealerships.

Working with Texas Parks and Wildlife to expand off-road vehicle access statewide.

Collaborating with the National Powersports Dealer Association (NPDA) to promote fair treatment in OEM programs and eliminate unfair dealer fees.

Through these accomplishments and ongoing efforts, TMDA continues to create a business environment that protects and strengthens dealerships, ensuring that Texas powersports dealers remain competitive and profitable in a rapidly evolving industry.

Together, we represent a network of dealers committed to progress, advocacy, and the long-term health of Texas motorcycling. When we speak with one voice, our collective strength drives meaningful change - in legislation, in business, and across the entire powersports community.

We invite you to join TMDA and be part of the organization working every day to protect your interests, amplify your voice, and help Texas dealers thrive.
