One of the pre-eminent attorneys working in Texas media law, Stacy is a formidable advocate for public policy advancing Open Government, newsgathering and Free Speech.
He works closely with TAB’s Board and leadership as general counsel and legislative consultant.
He advises member stations routinely with various inquiries on state law and regulation.
Stacy’s expertise, easy manner and disarming approach foster trust and confidence of lawmakers and their staff.
Happy to work behind the scenes, he never hesitates to step into the glare of public testimony where he has routinely deconstructed with precision the ill effects of proposed legislation.
One of the most seasoned lawmakers in the Texas Capitol once shrank into his chair after Stacy’s testimony, quipping “well, I don’t think I like my bill so much after all.”
On more than one occasion, he has proved to be our secret weapon in preserving the state’s Anti-SLAPP law – the most powerful Free Speech protection most Texans don’t even know they have.
To be sure, Stacy Allen is an attorney you want on YOUR side, and I know that Texas broadcasters are glad he is!
