Texas Association of Film Commissions

It should come as no surprise that a state the size of Texas has an equally large history in the visual media industry. Texas has been home to groundbreaking films such as the first Academy Award® Winner for Best Picture, WINGS; the world renowned television series, DALLAS; the successful animated series, JIMMY NEUTRON: BOY GENIUS; and the history-making computer game series, ULTIMA. And that's just the beginning.

With such creative richness, each of the film commissions of Texas have a long-standing reputation for supporting the visual media industry. Now, we are taking this mission one step further through the Texas Association of Film Commissions, Inc., a collective effort to promote Texas's competitive position in this industry and make our presence even bigger than the state in which we live.
