The record
Nora Del Bosque has spent her professional life in and around the Texas Capitol. She started as a college student giving tours of the 1888 landmark; the four decades since have run through legislative staff work, Fortune 500 public affairs, and an independent practice serving energy companies, trade associations, municipalities, and nonprofits.
Her legislative career began in 1987 in the House Ways & Means Committee, where she tracked and analyzed every bill referred to the committee for the late Representative James Hury. That work taught her, at the document level, how bills move — and stop — in the Texas House. She went on to serve as Chief Clerk of the House Appropriations Committee, coordinating committee activity through the state budget process and working daily with Chairman Jim Rudd, members of both chambers, legislative staff, agency executives, and the public.
From 1991 to 1994 she was a Public Affairs Representative for Miller Brewing Company, managing legislative, regulatory, marketing, and local government initiatives in four states: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. She prepared and maintained state disclosure and accountability reports for corporate political contributions and PACs, and represented the company before environmental, labor, industry, and consumer groups — experience that remains directly relevant to clients with multi-state regulatory exposure.
She joined Dick Brown Legislative Consulting in 1995, drafting legislation, amendments, bill substitutes, and legislative analysis for the firm's clients. In 2003 she founded Nora Del Bosque Consulting. For more than two decades the practice has served Fortune 500 corporations, trade associations, municipalities, counties, energy companies, environmental clients, and public affairs representatives across every major policy area in the Texas Legislature.
Why principal-level matters
Every client works directly with Nora Del Bosque, not a junior associate: she handles the strategy, the legislator relationships, and the reporting herself. Larger firms sell a well-known name and staff the work to juniors. This practice does not.
The relationships that matter at the Texas Capitol — with members, leadership, committee staff, and agency executives — are built over years of consistent presence. They are personal, they do not transfer, and they are what clients pay for when they hire a lobbyist.
