Re-Cap: Texas Moving Image Industry Information Session
We hosted nearly 50 small business owners and members of our Film Friendly Texas (FFTX) network on Feb. 7 for an information session on the business-friendly resources provided by our office.

We are excited to continue holding events like these in the months to come.
