WHY WE EXIST

THE TRADES NEED A COMEBACK - WE'RE LEADING IT

The skilled labor gap is growing—and trade programs are vanishing. By 2026, over 500,000 construction workers will be needed, but young people aren’t being shown the way.

Texas Construction School is here to change that. We provide free, hands-on training to youth, adults, and underserved communities—restoring pride in the trades and building real pathways to purpose.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS & PARTNERS SAY

We’re not just building skills — we’re building futures. Whether it's a student stepping onto a jobsite for the first time, or a partner school hosting a workshop, our impact is felt far beyond the classroom.
Justin Townsend – Sullivan Contracting Services

“I am VP of a General Contracting Company in Stephenville Texas, and wanted to try and express in words the relationship that we have developed with Jesse and Joe at Texas Construction.  Sometimes in life we are introduced to people who are 100% inline with your core values and this is what I think we have found with Jesse and Joe. First is Faith, Jesse and Joe both never once have had to tell me where their faith lies, it is evident in the way that they carry themselves on a daily basis.  They treat people like they want to be treated which is exactly what we are called to do.  Second is Family, although these two are biological brothers, they seem to treat everyone as family. This is not just the people that they work for but seems to be the guys that work for them as well. Third is Relationships, both of them much like Sullivan value the relationships that they have created and will work hard to maintain that relationship.  Many times they have gone above and beyond to make sure that our relationship is not harmed in any way, even if it’s not expected. Last is Result, everyone at Texas Construction strives for meeting or exceeding expectations with their clients.  I have seen this time and time again from management down to the guy that is cleaning up at the end of the day. These guys are the real deal and I could not recommend anyone higher that Texas Construction.”

“As a building materials distributor, working with Jesse Pena and Texas Construction is always a rewarding challenge. We’ve worked on a wide range of projects together, from industrial projects like Muddy Creek to a credit union addition, and even a high-end interior renovation to the business school at Tarleton State University (my alma mater). The team not only knows how to keep their clients on schedule and efficient, but they’re a great partner to work with to make sure they provide the highest quality and most cost-effective materials for their end user. They address and resolve challenges as they arise during the construction process, resulting in satisfied customers and profitable, repeat business.”
