Programs

Money and rules in Texas.

Summarized from the Department of Energy's Laws and Incentives record, pulled 2026-09-10, with a link to the original beside each one. Programs change and most of them run out of money, so check the current terms with whoever runs it before you count on it.

Funding

The public record shows no state-level charging funding program in Texas right now. Federal programs below may still apply, and utilities run programs that are not always listed federally.
