    Agency History

    Historical Notes

    The Legislature created the Texas Film Industry Development Loan Guarantee Program (Program) in 1999 to facilitate the production of films in Texas and to further develop the Texas film industry by encouraging private lenders to make loans for Texas film productions.  The Program authorized the Comptroller of Public Accounts to issue guarantees to private lenders for the repayment of such loans, under certain conditions.  However, the Program never received an appropriation and guaranteed no loans, rendering it effectively inactive.  No legislation was needed to abolish the Program as it was automatically abolished and its statute expired on its Sunset date of September 1, 2005.
