Robinett to Lead Texas Auctioneer Association as President
The membership of the Texas Auctioneer Association (TAA) elected Troy Robinett as their president for the coming year. The election was held at the recent convention in Frisco, Texas.
Robinett has served on the TAA Board for eight years and was a co-founder of the TAA sponsored Lone Star Open Bid Calling Contest, the highest paying auctioneer contest in the U.S. He and his wife, Amelia and their two sons reside in Decatur, Texas.
A first generation auctioneer, Robinett calls cattle sales, equipment sales and benefit events throughout the United States. He was named the 2014 Texas State Champion Auctioneer. He is a 2009 graduate of the Missouri Auction School and the Benefit Auction Specialist Course. He is president of Robinett Auction Services, an auction company focused on registered bull and production sales and commercial replacement female sales.
“The TAA has played an important role in my development as an auctioneer. I have been able to grow my business through the continuing education programs, by networking with other successful auctioneers and establishing mentor relationships. My career has been influenced greatly by TAA and its members. I’m honored to serve in this position and have the opportunity to contribute and lead the organization,” he said.
Since 1956, the TAA has been actively promoting and enhancing the auction method of marketing. Today, the association serves its diverse membership by involvement in legislative issues to protect the auction industry, by offering extensive educational training and promoting the value of price discovery through auctions.
“I look forward to working for our membership as president and exploring ways we can continue to help our members grow their businesses and provide support to them. I’m honored to serve my peers and to give back to the association,” said Robinett.
He will be joined in leading the 65-year-old association with Jarod Hamm as president-elect; Doug Bradford, first vice president; Trey Galloway, second vice president; and Montie Davis, secretary/treasurer.

I am terribly saddened by all the argumentative discourse that seems to be going on in today’s world. It seems as though it is no longer enough just to disagree on certain issues. We are expected to classify someone as an enemy if they do not always agree with us on all issues, lest we be considered weak.
To make things even worse, because those who disagree with you are now considered enemies, the sentiment seems to be that it is only fair and proper to destroy them, because they are the enemy, again with the fear of ridicule for being weak if we do not fight.
With all that said, and seemingly unrelated, I am a big John Wayne fan. From watching him dive into his role as a cowboy, to marveling at his time portraying a soldier or appreciating his acting gig as a sailor, there is seldom a week that goes by without me watching at least one

That old adage, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you.,” may have some basis in truth when applied to minor situations. However, when what you don’t know is presented in the form of a “Trojan Horse” and is what amounts to an incredible attempt to fleece American property rights, it becomes a different story altogether.
To put this unbelievable tale together, we need to step back to Joe Biden’s 2021 Executive Order which pledged commitment to help restore balance on public lands and waters, to create jobs, and to provide a path to align the management of America’s public lands and waters with our nation’s climate, conservation, and clean energy goals.
