CHAPTER 181. TEXAS LEVERAGE FUND PROGRAM

The Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism Office ("Office") adopts the repeal of 10 TAC §§181.1 - 181.10, concerning the Texas Leverage Fund Program, without changes to the proposed text as published in the March 20, 2026, issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 1784).

The adopted repeal removes regulations that are no longer necessary.
