The Texas Asphalt Pavement Association (TXAPA) marked a major milestone as members, contractors and industry partners gathered for the association's 50th Annual Meeting, held Sept. 8–11, 2025, at La Cantera Resort and Spa in San Antonio, Texas.
The four-day event, known as TXAPA's "Golden Anniversary," brought together professionals from across the state for a mix of networking, education and recognition.
Activities included a golf tournament, professional networking sessions and a charity auction, all leading up to one of the most anticipated highlights of the year, the TxDOT-TXAPA Quality Asphalt Pavement Awards Program.
During the ceremony, Harold Mullen, CEO of TXAPA, addressed attendees with words of appreciation and pride for the association's enduring commitment to excellence.
"You know, today is one of our most famous days of the year because we get to recognize quality projects and quality people," Mullen said. "But I wanted to say thank you for what you do. Thank you for the hard work, day in and day out."
Throughout the event, exhibitors and sponsors from across the asphalt and construction industries, including equipment dealers, materials producers and service providers, connected with contractors and representatives to celebrate innovation and quality across Texas' pavement community.
The Quality Asphalt Pavement Awards recognized outstanding paving achievements. The program grants awards in three divisions, Dense Grade Specialty Mixes and Complexity Paving. Within the divisions are six categories: full-depth large, medium and small, and overlay large, medium and small.
The 50th Annual Meeting served as both a celebration of progress and a reminder of the industry's shared goal of building quality roads. CEG
