Texas Enterprise Fund

The Texas Enterprise Fund was established in 2003 to help attract new jobs and investment to the state. The fund was reappropriated by the Legislature in 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011. As the largest "deal-closing" fund of its kind in the nation, the TEF continues to attract businesses to Texas. The fund is used only as a final incentive tool where a single Texas site is competing with another viable out-of-state option. Additionally, the TEF will only be considered to help close a deal that already has significant local support behind it from a prospective Texas community. Additional information regarding the Enterprise Fund Program can be found here.


Texas Enterprise Zone Program

The Texas Enterprise Zone Program is an economic development tool for local communities to partner with the State of Texas to promote job creation and capital investment in economically distressed areas of the state.  The Program is administered through the Texas Comptroller’s Office.  Additional information regarding the Enterprise Zone Program can be found here.

 

Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF)

The Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) is a new incentive program to encourage the continued leadership of Texas in semiconductor research, design and manufacturing. The TSIF was established in June 2023 when Governor Abbott signed into law the Texas CHIPS Act (House Bill 5174) which established the TSIF as well as the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium (TSIC). In June 2023, Texas lawmakers appropriated $698 million for the new semiconductor fund. In June 2025, TSIF received an additional $250 million, totaling approximately $948 million in total appropriations.

The TSIF will provide grants to state entities and institutions of higher education for semiconductor manufacturing and design projects; and award grants to business entities with an established presence within the state of Texas to encourage economic development related to semiconductor manufacturing and design.
