At the local, regional, and state level, we've harvested a few helpful resources for your creative project.
State Incentives and Grants

Grants vary by budget levels and types of productions, and are issued upon completion of a review of the project’s Texas expenditures.
Texas also offers:
If your TV, film, music video, commercial, still photography or interactive project (such as video games, augmented reality & virtual reality) will be filming in Dallas and you are using at least 15 Dallas hotel room nights, you could qualify for this incentive. The project must apply prior to shooting and use a participating hotel.

The fund is administered by our TPID Partners.
Why Choose Dallas
The Dallas area offers a wealth of diverse locations, providing cost savings and convenience in a concentrated geographical area. Two large cities less than 30 miles apart offer distinctly different characteristics: Dallas, gleaming knock out skyline, eclectic, hip, diverse. Always something going on… sports, live music, arts & culture, whatever your heart desires. Juxtaposed against the older “brick and mortar” look of downtown Fort Worth and the steers and boots image of the Stockyards.
