We can't control market changes, but we can protect your energy bill from them.

Texas will become a nodal market. We're making sure you don't spend more on energy bills because of it.

The energy market is transitioning to a "nodal market." In laymen's terms, electricity will now be purchased differently by retail electric providers.

Power Couple

Bob and Marcie Zlotnik have electrified industry newcomer StarTex Power by focusing on the benefits of being small.

By Matthew Gilliam
Special to Houston Business Journal

When Bob and Marcie Zlotnik were standing at the altar, they didn't realize that they were not only becoming husband and wife, but also future business partners.

After sharing dual careers in public accounting, the Zlotnik's decided to team uo and, in 2004, opened StarTex, a retail electricity provider. While some married couples can barely get through dinner without an argument, the ZLotniks spend their time together deciding on electricity rates and brainstorming about ways to attract customers.

Testimonials

I would like to thank you very, very much for helping me to not lose power during my change of residence problem. You are great!

StarTex, thank you very much for speaking to me on the phone about the plans and services. You were very kind and knowledgeable. Your conversation with me has made me switch my plan from "REP A" to you guys. I have called over five other services in the last week to get assistance and you were the friendliest and most knowledgeable. Thank you for your time and please share this with your supervisor.

Sir, I would like to thank you for your "BETTER" service first, by allowing customers to know how to contact you and your other executives. Your company appears to be very friendly and customer quality focused. I am leaving "REP A" because they could not do a better job than to take my money without good customer service. Thank you, I look forward to the change.

Facebook in 10 years......

25th August, 2009
By Nick Vaidya


Has the facebook phenomenon reached maturity and equilibrium or are we to expect change?  It is, indeed, a lot of things to a lot of people.  It is a social resume.  It is a directory of people? It is play ground? It is a blow horn? And on and on....Whatever it may be to you, it evolves for each individual. What do you think it will look like in 10 years from now?  

Quote of the Day

There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities.
- Michael Dell
