Our knowledgeable and aggressive legal counsel continually monitors regulatory and legislative issues, including pending laws, regulations and rulings.


    Meet TABA’s Lobbyist – Carl Isett

    Carl Isett
    Carl Isett

    Carl Isett was the only practicing Certified Public Accountant when he was sworn into the Texas House of Representatives in 1997, representing District 84 (R-Lubbock).  He served in that position through 2010 focusing on government efficiency, insurance reform, and limiting taxation. Since that time he has continued to represent selected clients before the legislature and the executive branch. Carl brings a strong knowledge of varied subject matter, the legislative process, and twenty years developing relationships at the Texas capitol to help his clients achieve their goals.   He received a B.A. degree in accounting and finance, and a M.S. degree in finance from Texas Tech University. Mr. Isett declined his candidacy for an eighth two-year term in 2010 in order to take command of a Defense Logistics Agency depot in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2011.   This was the first and only DLA Distribution Depot in an active theater of war and extended the logistics chain supporting the war fighters to the “tip of the spear.”  Carl retired from the United States Navy, Reserve Component in 2017 at the rank of Captain (O-6) after 26 years of service.

    He cites his legislative accomplishments as successfully championing bills that increased efficiency and improved the management of information technology in state government and reforming health care delivery in both public and private sectors. While in the legislature, Isett championed the first medical cost transparency bill in Texas and sat on the Insurance Committee, House Appropriations and many others.  He held several chairmanships including the powerful Sunset Commission which examines how state agencies perform their mission as directed by the legislature.
