NAMC - Greater Houston Chapter

Chair Ruben Mercado attended the recent press conference representing Ipsum General Contractors, LLC in response to the restructuring of the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program.

The matter before the court centers on statutory authority, due process, and the preservation of a legislatively established program that has supported thousands of Texas businesses for decades.

This issue is not about preference, it is about ensuring that laws passed by the Legislature are implemented as written and that certified businesses are afforded stability, clarity, and fairness within the state contracting process.

NAMC Greater Houston remains committed to advocating for transparent, lawful frameworks that promote economic growth, responsible competition, and opportunity for qualified businesses across Texas.
