Texas wants your story on screen, and it’s putting $1.5 Billion on the table over the next 10 years to make it happen.
The Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP) offers cash rebates of 5%–25% on qualified in-state spending, plus bonus awards that can push your total savings to 31% back.
Whether you’re producing a feature film, episodic TV, commercial, or animation project, TaxTaker makes the process easy, compliant, and maximized for savings.
Maximum savings: 31% of eligible costs
✔ Feature films, episodic TV, documentaries
✔ Commercials, music videos, branded content
✔ Animation, VFX, video games, XR projects
✔ Productions spending at least $250K (film/TV) or $100K (commercials) in Texas
✔ Production reflects Texas heritage or promotes a positive image of the state
A Texas-based production can earn significant savings through the TMIIIP, but the process starts before filming begins. To qualify, producers must apply in advance, track all eligible Texas spending, and submit a final expenditure report for review once the project wraps.

Base Rebate (25%) → $500,000
+ Rural Filming Bonus (2.5%) → +$50,000
+ Veteran Hiring Bonus (2.5%) → +$50,000

All rebates are paid after the state verifies expenses and eligibility. To make sure your production meets every requirement, consult TaxTaker before you roll cameras.
