Revenue Estimate for Second Called Session of 89th Legislature August 15, 2025

The Honorable Greg Abbott, Governor
The Honorable Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor
The Honorable Dustin Burrows, Speaker of the House
Members of the 89th Legislature

Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen:

As required by Article III, Section 49a, Texas Constitution, our office provides this estimate of revenue available for the 89th Legislature, Second Called Session.

No bills with fiscal implications were passed during the 89th Legislature, First Called Session. Therefore, we are making no adjustment at this time to the estimate of available revenue provided in our July 18 Revenue Estimate Letter.

Based on the recognition of the estimated effects of legislation passed during the 89th Legislature, Regular Session, $3.1 billion is projected to be available for general purpose spending through Aug. 31, 2027.

In view of substantial uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, we make no further adjustment at this time to the estimates of tax and fee revenues as provided in January in the 2026-27 Biennial Revenue Estimate.

Sincerely,

Kelly Hancock
Acting Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
