CHAPTER 313. TEXAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACT
Chapter 313 was enacted to allow abatement of ad valorem taxes to draw large businesses to Texas. The Act expires in 2022.
The rise of ‘wokeness’, the ‘cancel culture’, burdensome state and local income taxes, and lawlessness in blue states like California and New York, have motivated corporate heads to move their businesses to red states like Texas and Florida.
No longer is tax abatement needed as an incentive to draw businesses to Texas. Financial freedom, the rule of law, and the low cost of doing business naturally attract good businesses to the Lone Star State.
