Part 8 - TEXAS FILM COMMISSION
Chapter 122 - TEMPORARY USE OF STATE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS BY TELEVISION OR FILM PRODUCTION COMPANIES
Section 122.1 - Background and Purpose
Universal Citation: 13 TX Admin Code ยง 122.1
Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) Background. House Bill 374 establishes the rules and processes for the temporary use of state properties by a production company for production activity. It also establishes that a state property can be used seven days during a fiscal year without charge, other than the reimbursement of additional costs. This Act takes effect September 1, 2007.
(b) Purpose.
(1) Texas has had a prodigious film
industry for decades, and has always been popular with filmmakers worldwide for
its varied and beautiful locations. It has been the Texas Film Commission's
(TFC) responsibility since 1971 to help filmmakers find the right location, and
state properties have always been popular choices. Establishing rules and
processes for filming at these locations will make it easier for filmmakers to
use their preferred locations, as well as take the burden of communicating with
and supervising production companies off the state property.
(2) The Texas Film Commission is also
responsible for attracting production activity to Texas because of its positive
impact on the State's economy and workforce. The use of state properties for
free for seven days of each fiscal year will be another tool that the TFC can
use to attract filmmakers to Texas, increasing our competitive edge.
