Applicants must submit supporting documents along with their application to demonstrate compliance with grant and eligibility requirements. This application round will remain open until remaining funds are dispersed. For eligibility and grant application details, deadlines, an application instruction video, and the TTIR application portal, visit ttir.gov.texas.gov.
The TTIR Program was established by Senate Bill 8 and signed into law by the Governor following the 87th Legislative Session to administer $180 million of funds received from the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
We greatly appreciate your help in sharing this important resource with your network for the continued recovery of the Texas travel, tourism, and hospitality industries. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the TTIR Program staff by emailing tourismrecoverygrant@gov.texas.gov.
Thanks for all you do for the great state of Texas!
Sincerely,
 Adriana Cruz
Executive Director
