About this grant
The Texas Enterprise Fund awards "deal-closing" cash grants to companies considering a new project for which one Texas site is competing with other out-of-state sites. The fund serves as a performance-based financial incentive for companies whose projects would contribute significant capital investment and new employment opportunities to the state's economy.
