On April 23, 2009, Governor Rick Perry signed HB 873 which established a new and improved incentive program for media production in Texas. This new bill increases the amount of funding that feature films, television programs, video games and stand-alone post-production/finishing projects can receive. It also lowers the minimum budgetary requirements so that the program allows for local productions, such as commercials, industrials and even independent films to apply.

Want to learn more? Join the DPA on Tuesday, July 7, at Studios 121, for an informational meeting with Bob Hudgins, Director of the Texas Film Commission. Bob will discuss the new incentive program with local producers and answer questions about how to apply.
