The association is owned and operated by its membership and governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership. The TPA offices and staff are located in Austin, a few blocks from the Capitol.
TPA is affiliated with the American Public Communications Council, the national payphone association, and supports the APCC effort to represent the payphone industry at the national level.
