Texas Comptroller’s Office seeking applications for broadband grants

AUSTIN, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — The Texas Comptroller’s Office announced it is seeking applications for grants to support broadband infrastructure projects in eligible areas around the state.

The Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock said the comptroller’s office is accepting applications for more than $3.8 billion in available funds from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program and the Texas Match Assistance Program (TMAP).

The projects look to bring high-speed internet service to unserved and underserved areas across the state.

“Access to reliable, high-speed internet is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity for education, business, health care and everyday life,” said Hancock. “This is a transformative investment in Texas’s future, especially for our rural and underserved communities. Expanding broadband access boosts job opportunities, drives local growth and helps ensure every Texan, no matter their ZIP code, has the tools to succeed in a modern, connected economy.”

The comptroller’s office said that to be eligible for funding, projects must be designed to deploy reliable, high-speed broadband service to eligible unserved and underserved locations in Texas, including homes, businesses, and schools.

More information can be found on the Texas BEAD Application Portal registration page and the Texas Broadband Development Office’s website.
