WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2025 – Texas has taken a big step forward in connecting underserved residents with high-speed broadband.

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced Wednesday that he will be awarding $701.9 million to Texas counties, with $424.6 million of that already in agreements with ISPs. 

The funding is round two of the Texas Broadband Development Office’s Bring Online Opportunities to Texas (BOOT) program, which hopes to close the digital divide gap by bringing high-speed Internet to unserved and underserved communities.
