Services

Three services, nothing else.

Nora Del Bosque provides direct representation and confidential counsel before the Texas Legislature, state agencies, and local governments — and handles every engagement herself.

Service 01

Legislative Advocacy

Representation before the Texas Legislature runs from bill drafting to floor strategy, informed by staff experience inside the House Ways & Means and Appropriations Committees. The work includes bill tracking and analysis; drafting of bills, amendments, and substitutes; committee testimony preparation; coalition building; and appropriations advocacy.

Texas legislates on a biennial calendar, which means a session is largely determined in the interim before it. This practice runs year-round — tracking interim committee work, monitoring agency rulemaking, and maintaining member and staff relationships — so clients enter January positioned, not scrambling.

Who it serves

The service fits organizations with a bill to pass, a bill to stop, or an appropriations priority: corporations, trade associations, municipalities and counties, and nonprofits.

What an engagement looks like

First comes a confidential intake, then a written strategy memo. During session, Nora works members and committee staff directly, prepares testimony, and reports in writing from first gavel to sine die. When the session ends, clients get an interim plan.

Service 02

Regulatory & Agency Affairs

Texas's 142 state agencies carry as much consequence for most organizations as the Legislature itself. Drawing on state-level and Fortune 500 public affairs experience, the practice helps clients shape proposed rules, engage agency executives, and navigate administrative proceedings — from notice-and-comment rulemaking to contested-case preparation.

Nora keeps agency relationships current between sessions, not just during them. The practice also advises on disclosure and PAC compliance reporting to the Texas Ethics Commission.

Who it serves

It serves clients regulated by TCEQ, the PUC, the Railroad Commission, TxDOT, HHSC, TEA, TWC, the GLO, and the other agencies relevant to their industries, including multi-state operators coordinating Texas with other capitals.

How the work proceeds

The work opens with a regulatory risk assessment. From there it can include rulemaking participation and comment drafting, agency executive meetings, contested-case hearing preparation, and procurement or contracting guidance where relevant.

Service 03

Government Strategy & Consultation

Not every policy problem calls for active lobbying. For organizations weighing a Texas market entry, assessing legislative risk, or building a government relations program for the first time, the practice provides confidential strategic counsel — analysis a client can put in front of a board.

Who it serves

This service is built for organizations new to Texas advocacy, companies assessing legislative risk before market entry, and boards that want a clear-eyed annual briefing on the Texas policy environment.

What you receive

Clients receive political landscape analysis, stakeholder mapping, legislative risk and opportunity assessment, and session-calendar planning, with board-level briefings delivered in writing and in person.

Method

How the practice works

  1. 01Intake & strategy. Everything begins with a confidential conversation about goals, timeline, and constraints, followed by a written strategy memo.
  2. 02Access & advocacy. Nora carries the client's case to legislators, staff, and agency executives; no communication is delegated.
  3. 03Monitor & report. Clients receive regular written updates on legislative and regulatory activity, and are not surprised by developments that could have been anticipated.
  4. 04Results & recap. Each session or engagement period closes with a written recap of outcomes, open items, and recommended next steps.
