“He has served his county and region with the utmost integrity and established a legacy that will long outlive his term as Chairman”
Robert E. (Bob) Tesch began his professional career in Houston, Texas in the 1970’s where, after college and receiving his license as a real estate broker, he joined a local real estate investment firm. For more than thirty years, Bob has developed commercial and investment real estate in the greater Houston, Dallas and Austin areas. In 1979 he formed his own firm, currently known as Tesch Development & Management Company, LLC (TDM). In 1984 he moved his business from Houston to Austin, Texas where he was appointed Exclusive Acquisition Agent for Texas by Summit Care Corporation, a publicly traded long term care company for whom he acquired over $120 million in nursing home and long-term care facilities statewide while expanding his real estate business into land- use planning, entitlement and development. He has been heavily involved in Western Williamson County where he developed various commercial projects including Oakmont Business Park, Tower Center and Creekside Park. When acquired, Creekside Park was a 146-acre raw land site with no utilities. Today, as a mixed-use development all sites are sold and when completed the project will include 376 single family homes in three subdivisions including 32 single family detached condos, a church, nursing home and ten acres of local retail. Subsequently TDM developed Valley Vista Estates subdivision in Leander which, when completed will include 380 single family homes and 21 acres of suburban retail, office and other business uses. In 2017 he relocated TDM to the DFW Metroplex where TDM is developing multiple subdivisions and other commercial projects.

He has been called upon by the Williamson County Commissioner’s Court, the City Council of Cedar Park and Governor Perry to serve in various community service leadership positions. In January 2003 Governor Perry commissioned him Presiding Officer of Texas’ first Regional Mobility Authority where he served three 2-year terms. Under his leadership the Authority’s first turnpike project (US 183A) was completed on-time and under budget in March 2007. In 2009, after serving six years as Chairman, Governor Perry appointed him to a six-year term on the board of directors of the Brazos River Authority, which provides water to municipalities, agriculture and industry in seventy-two Texas Counties.
