JETI was created with the passage of House Bill 5 (88th Legislature, Regular Session) and aims to help Texas stay competitive by attracting new jobs and investment to the state.
The JETI program enables a company, school district and Governor’s office to enter into an agreement for a 10-year school district maintenance and operations (M&O) tax appraised value limitation pursuant to statutorily mandated job creation and investment minimums.
The program is not authorized to accept applications until January 2024.
