how we doing today? Greetings, doing fantastic, thanks. Anthony, It'' s remarkable, just how are you sir? Oh you understand I'' m kickin ' like a. hen. I'' m hanging in there. It'' s a beautiful day out there in DFW. Yes it is. I think let'' s start, you understand, you are a routine on our program yet if you wear'' t. mind inform our listeners a little concerning Texas Green Pipes. Texas Green.
Plumbing is a full-service plumbing firm located in the Richardson location. And I'' m gon na really specify on something today that typically I wear'' t,. yet we are a really certified plumbing company.And I know that sounds funny. that I would begin by doing this, however there ' s a great deal taking place in Austin, in the. State of Texas with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Inspectors which'' s. in fact why I wished to generate, you understand, Dianne today. And, you understand the cool.
point is, Anthony, I want to return a number of months ago when I was below was.
Texas – OU day and Texas won! Oh yes. And, you know, we'' re right here once more so allow '
s. just do it again.Hey let ' s do a repeat. I love it. However back to back to the pipes,.
and the factor this is a huge bargain to me is I believe – I'' m one of these plumbers, I. take satisfaction in my industry and the work I'do. And I ' m at Dianne ' s numerous years ago,. Dianne was the chief pipes assessor in the city of Dallas, and Diane was good. due to the fact that Diane ensured you did points right. And me as a plumbing professional that takes. pride in my job, I like that. And so whenever I started.
hearing of what was going on with the Sundown Advisory Payment, I wished to.
get to out to somebody and get someone else in below that in fact possibly.
knows a little bit more concerning this than me. And Dianne came up, and I obtained in touch.
with her and Dianne at initial is: I don'' t know if I'can do it since I ' m actually. actually passionate concerning this. And I said look, I comprehend that.Dianne, I'' m glad. you ' re right here. Thanks quite, I am recognized to be below. Well allow ' s dive. right into it, so what is going on in the plumbing market
in Texas right currently? We. are under fire. And I really feel in this way too, and particularly because I have such a.
social media sites presence. That all are we under attack from? I desire we could.
identify the source, but if any individual is available has not review personnels report from.
the Sunset Advisory Payment, you will not obtain really far into this record that.
you will not recognize that we remain in the battle of our life. This record is flawed, misinforming, is created for the objective of shutting our.
board and relocating it to the Texas Division of Licensing and Law. It not just assaults our agency, it assaults our profession, and our sector. So the reports put out by the Sunset Advisory Commission, just what is the.
Sundown Advisory Commission? The Sundown Advisory Compensation is a firm of.
itself that is in charge of going in and auditing the other agencies of the.
state.Basically upon the merits of their responsibilities, their functions, is it necessary? Can we help them? Can we place some legislation with each other? Can we offer them. some cash? Can we assist fund
them? Do we require them? Do we liquify it and drop it.
in an incredibly company and for there to ever be shed? That'' s what their key.
function is, to go in with an unbiased view of a company. That objective view.
never taken place for the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. When was the last.
time that the Sunset Advisory Compensation checked out the Texas State Board of.
Inspectors? It was 12 years ago or 6 years? There was a review in '' 99 and there. was additionally a follow-up in 2002. Both the TDLR and the pipes board were looked.
at.There were some discrepancies for the TDLR that happened back then back in.
'' 99. There were some problems that were to be looked after and some of those were.
cared for. Our major trouble that we have right currently is our firm is being.
deemed being irresponsible in their responsibilities based upon current natural.
disasters; the typhoon, the flooding, the large development that our.
state has had, and our plumbing industry.And the record
Texas Plumbers Under Attack, Part 1 | Plumbing Career | The Expert Plumber
Texas Plumbers Under Attack, Part 1 | Plumbing Career | The Expert Plumber
basically claims that the.
company has actually done us wrong. I consider it, and I'' ve been taking a look at this very long time,.
thankfully I used to be a proceeding education and learning carrier which aA-Aces is and.
that'' s what Dianne is extremely involved with. And I ' ve known concerning this for a.
while, and I consider points, and I ask inquiries, and I listen to. I have individuals call.
me I essentially get messages through social media at all times. However one of the.
points that I get get in touch with, and people are saying; Roger, the Texas State Board.
of Plumbing Examiners isn'' t even changing individuals that are leaving, so.
exactly how can we anticipate them to do a good work? But the reality is, they'' re on a freeze.
Texas Plumbers Under Attack, Part 1 | Plumbing Career | The Expert Plumber
Texas Plumbers Under Attack, Part 1 | Plumbing Career | The Expert Plumber
framework- or a freeze hiring.They will not.
allow them work with to replace these individuals that leave. Correct? Correct. And if you – I imply I'' m sorry, yet if I have – and I'' m attempting to bear in mind the number of. enforcement authorities there remain in the state of Texas, is it'' s regarding a dozen. However if I have.
three or 4 of those stopped and I can'' t replace them, exactly how can I do as good a work? When you'' re robbing Peter to pay Paul, and I know and every local business owner.
knows what I'' m claiming, when you'' re not allowed to use your profits to reinvest.
into your plumbing firm, how long will you last? It'' s not gon na be extremely. long. Now let'' s return since I desired -I do desire to speak about the revenues and.
the money due to the fact that I don'' t see this profit, and I recognize you wear'' t either.And I.
want to explain that to individuals the Texas State Board of Pipes Examiners is a.
not-for-profit organization. They put on'' t generate income.
They hire their. workers, yet they'' re making enough cash that money'' s going back right into. the the Texas basic fund to be used other areas. Yet first, for everyone.
not speaking or for everybody not in our industry, and the factor I'' ve told so.
several individuals on social media sites concerning this, is I assume this influences not just.
plumbings yet home owners. What is – let'' s go back to the essentials. What is the TSBPE, what is the Texas State Board of Pipes Supervisors? It. was initiated by the 50th regulations in 1947, and what it was meant to do, was to.
bring the licensing at a state level. Which would certainly assist the pipes sector.
regarding not having to reciprocate in between cities. It was to help.
relax down that licensing process. So they brought it within the state, our agency.
is there to assist us build our market but build it within criteria. We want.
to be certified licensed plumbers.Okay and I concur
Texas Plumbers Under Attack, Part 1 | Plumbing Career | The Expert Plumber
with that said and I enjoy that. So.
what is the TDLR? The TDLR is a licensing and managing.
very firm. And when I say super agency, if you will.
open their website and look at all the licensing that they remain in control.
of, you will certainly not discover a firm under that list that so straight affects the.
lifestyle, the essentials of life that the pipes board regulates for us. Our plumbing sector, we claim that the plumbing board regulates, they can'' t. manage whatever and we'' ve obtained assessors throughout the state.And like I.
stated a while ago, I remember the very first time you strolled on a work, you were like can I see.
your permit? I'' m like: ma ' am, I ' m running this job. You stated well that'' s fine, I. comprehend it, however may I see your permit? And you recognize you had my respect from the.
extremely initial min. The poor thing I obtained ta inform you is, I'' ve never had an additional.
inspector requested my license. And I'' ve been doing this 38 years. And I put on'' t. remember when were you an examiner in Dallas … From '' 94 to 2017.
Ok ' 94 to 2017 and. I was possibly better to satisfying you 'in the ' 94 area, perhaps a bit later on.
than that. However that'' s simply a great deal a great deal of tasks I'' ve. gotten on that nobody'' s ever before requested for a license. So I'' ve got a pair extra.
mins below before we go to a break and this has to do with plumbing professionals and citizens. And.
we'' ve got a big meeting turning up December the 12th, down in Austin that.
we'' re going to chat about the Sundown Advisory Compensation hearing.But if.
plumbers desire to be heard they require to head to this wear'' t they? Yes I would certainly enjoy to.
see plumbings outside the Capitol, aligned from the money – the.
Senate Financing room, up the lifts, out the front door, twisted around the.
Capitol. That would certainly do nothing more than make my heart simply delighted. We need you. We.
require you to be there December the 12th. And it'' s December.
the 12th, you have to exist very early to register, and I say early. You'' ve
obtained. to be there, you have to register that early morning and I'' ve got the routine with.
me. They'' re going to talk concerning the Texas State Board of Pipes Supervisors last.
thing in the mid-day, however there they speak about a great deal of things.So to me I ' m. eagerly anticipating that
day to get supper and actually see how the hearing is done,.
exactly how it'' s undergone and points like that. I'' m expecting it, but it'' s not simply plumbers that need to be.
there. Guys, it'' s house owners. This is, Dianne said plumbing technicians do impact the.
wellness of the nation, and we'' ll speak about it extra in a little and obtain.
into it concerning what they do and exactly how they do it. Yet it really is a big offer, and it'' s not simply for plumbing professionals. Individuals this is actually.
the health of your family members and things like that in Texas. I think that we'' re. gon na take a break here in just a second, what I want y ' all think concerning is, if.
y'' all got questions and you'' d like to speak with Dianne or myself or if you ' ve got. remarks you'' d like to raise or discuss, we'' ve obtained a whole lot of things to talk.
around quickly to do it.But we'' d love to speak with individuals. So … Yeah they.

Anthony. All appropriate it'' s gon na be 21 4-787-1190 or.
817-787-1190. If y'' all intend to chat and talk.
with Roger or Dianne regarding this topic, it seems to be an extremely significant subject by.
the search their faces, and I'' ve never truly seen this much of a major.
subject, if you will, in here.But um it is major if you want to get a hold of Roger.
