The Texas Film Commission - https://gov.texas.gov/film - is the first stop for resources that serve the film, television, commercial, animation, visual effects, video game and extended reality (XR) industries of Texas. The Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP) is designed to build the economy through the moving image industry and create jobs in Texas. TMIIIP provides qualifying film, television, commercial, animation, visual effects, video game, extended reality (XR), and other moving image productions the opportunity to receive a cash grant based on a percentage of a project’s eligible Texas expenditures, including eligible wages paid to Texas residents. Grants vary by budget levels and types of productions, and are issued upon completion of a review of the project’s Texas expenditures. This incentive program is in addition to Texas’ Sales Tax Exemptions.
