GENERAL OVERVIEW 

Executive Summary 

The American Rescue Plan Act allocated $15,814,388,615 to the State of Texas from the 

Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund. Texas received those funds on August 6, 2021. 

During the state’s 87th Regular Legislative Session, which commenced in January of 2021 and 

ended in late May, the Legislature approved language (included in the state’s General 

Appropriations Act) which prevented these funds from being expended until allocated through 

the legislative process. To date, though legislation has been filed that outlines various proposals 

for how the funds might be used, the funds have not been formally allocated or expended. 

Pending further legislative action, the state anticipates that formal decisions regarding use of the 

funds could be finalized in the coming weeks. Treasury guidance directs that the state’s initial 

Recovery Plan Report should cover the period from the date of award through July 31, 2021. As 

previously stated, to date the state has not allocated or expended any of the funds awarded. 

Thus, the state does not – at this time – have any information to provide regarding an inventory 

of projects funded with these dollars, project performance data, promoting equitable outcomes, 

community engagement, labor practices, or evidenced-based interventions. All of these 

reporting requirements will be informed by pending legislative action.
