Why It Matters
The City of Del Rio, Texas has registered Lone Star Consulting LLC as a new outside lobbying firm, filing under the Transportation (TRA) issue code. The city is a longstanding lobbying participant.
The one lobbyist named on the new registration is Stephen Hofmann, Senior Vice President at Lone Star Consulting, whose disclosed covered-position experience is with Rep. Ken Bentsen (D-TX-25).
Broader Context
In prior quarters, Del Rio's lobbying focused on the Presidential Permit process for a proposed second Del Rio–Ciudad Acuña International Bridge, contacts with the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) port staffing, small-community air service, and Laughlin Air Force Base construction issues.
Competitive Landscape
Lone Star Consulting's other Texas local government clients filed third-quarter 2026 reports, including the City of Madisonville and the City of Carthage, though the data does not show the issues those reports covered. Among Lone Star Consulting's clients, the City of Granbury reported $10,000 in each of the first three quarters of 2026, listing "Infrastructure" as its specific issue, and the City of Burleson reported $12,000 in each of the second and third quarters of 2026, with "Infrastructure Funding" listed as its specific issue only in the third quarter.
The Bottom Line
Lone Star Consulting LLC registered the City of Del Rio, Texas, as a new client for Transportation (TRA) issues.
