Texas Governor Rick Perry and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff sent a strong message of support for Toyota to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce during the Toyota “sticky pedal” hearings.
Judge Nelson Wolff described Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas (TMMTX) as an “integral role in the economic vitality of South Central Texas and Bexar County. TMMTX and its associated 21 on-site suppliers employ more than 4,800 workers at the $1.3 billion Tundra plant in Bexar County. TMMTX is also a critical component of the growing Texas-Mexico Automotive Cluster which hosts over 200 tier one parts suppliers that employ over 133,000 workers.“
