Who can apply

Crucially, 'Products cannot be in research and development phase' - so this excludes pre-product startups. State programme - no SAM.gov registration or UEI required.

How to apply

  1. Confirm eligibility: at least 3 years of operating history and at least 1 year of revenue history, product past the R&D phase, and unencumbered tangible assets to secure the loan. — link
  2. Contact the Texas Economic Development Bank to discuss the loan structure.
  3. Submit the application with financials and asset schedule; the Governor's Office sets the risk premium.
