My children are interested in modeling and acting and I want to find out if there are any reputable acting agencies in houston, tx. They auditioned this weekend for the JRP John Robert Powers Talent Management Company and they were very excited about it until I researched and found out they had numerous BBB complaints and were a total scam.
My kids have headshots but are inexperienced. They are 7 and 13 and they are the ones that really want to do this....I am not a mom living through my kids :p)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Stay away from JRP!!!! Total rip off. If you are serious, get a membership to exploretalent.com they have a great section on agencies and lots of casting calls. They can even match your talents to specific casting calls. Another great networking site lots of us Texans use is onetalentsource.com.

RUN LIKE THE WIND from JRP!
If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. Some of these agencies may have a modeling division or they may not, but that is not my area of expertise and it is not under SAG's jurisdiction. There are some agencies in Texas, so go for it!
Then you can send them pictures of your girls, their resumes if they have one, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call them in for an interview. Good luck!
BTW, 99.9% of the time if someone comes up to you on the street or in the mall and says they want to make you a model or a star, what they really want is your money. Stay away from those people (and I use the term "people" loosely) There is probably a 1 in a Million chance that the person is making you a legitimate offer...

The Neil Hamill Agency has been around for years.
I don't know if they represent children. Call and ask.
The Neil Hamill Agency
7887 SAN Felipe
Houston, TEXAS 77063
(713)-789-1335
Fax: (713) 789-6163
Call the Pastorini/Bosby Agency (sorry I don't have the number), ask if they represent children, if not, ask if they can recommend an agency.
Texas is a Right-To-Work State. Your kids will not need to join the unions.
