?Texas Small Business Grant FAQs

Are there small business grants specifically for Texas?

Texas's own state-specific grant programs, award amounts, and deadlines change frequently, so we don't list invented or outdated program details here. For current Texas programs, contact Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office (Office of the Governor) directly — they administer the state's economic development and small business funding programs. Below, we list live federal grant and SBIR/STTR opportunities that Texas businesses can apply to today.

Do federal grants and SBIR/STTR programs apply to businesses in Texas?

Yes. Federal grants and SBIR/STTR solicitations are generally open to eligible small businesses nationwide, including in Texas — there is no separate state-residency requirement beyond being a US-based, US-owned small business (SBIR/STTR additionally requires fewer than 500 employees). The listings on this page are pulled live from Grants.gov and the official SBIR.gov API and refresh nightly.

Who administers small business funding programs in Texas?

Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office (Office of the Governor) is Texas's official state government agency for business and economic development. Visit their website for information on any state-specific loans, grants, tax incentives, or technical assistance programs currently being offered.

How often is this page updated?

The federal grant and SBIR/STTR listings on this page are refreshed nightly from Grants.gov and the official SBIR.gov API, so deadlines and amounts reflect what those agencies currently have posted. We do not display expired opportunities or programs we can't verify.
