Texas Association of Film Commissions

Every film and video project made in Texas brings vital jobs to Texans and business to support services and vendors. As Texas's film industry faces increasing challenges from other states' financial incentives, it's important to better track and report on what projects are being made and what monies are being locally spent. You can help. After completing a project in Texas, please download and fill out our Production Expenditure Worksheet and drop it in the mail. The data sheets collected will help us construct a more accurate picture of the economic impact the film/video industry has on the Texas economy.
