STMA was founded in 2000 with the goal of improving member’s lives. STMA helps its members maximize discounts on goods and services through negotiating collaborative and mutually beneficial deals with various companies such as Pepsi Co., Coca-Cola, Frito-Lay and Dr. Pepper. STMA also prides itself on finding opportunities with several Texas based small companies to help support the economy of Texas. STMA believes in partnering with vendors to offer marketing and promotional opportunities that benefit the customer and member.

STMA has also partnered with many governmental agencies like Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, San Antonio Police Department, San Antonio Fire Department, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and City of San Antonio to enhance relationships and voice members concerns. When STMA was established in 2000, the initial membership was around 80.
