Texas Boosts Efforts to Attract Film and TV Projects After 'Yellowstone' Success

Lawmakers in Texas are proposing a new, uncapped tax incentive program to attract big-budget film and TV productions of at least $15 million, in an effort to compete with neighboring states like New Mexico, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The proposal would supplement Texas' existing grant program and could launch the state into the upper echelon of jurisdictions that offer film and TV tax credits. The move comes as Southern states continue to amend and improve their film and TV tax credit programs in the fight to host productions.
