We are advocates of Texas business, industry and entrepreneurs.
Texas Business & Economic Highlights
In the midst of a global economic slow-down, the Texas economy has been a bright spot. According to
CNBC, Texas Ranks No. 1 for Business!
Texas is attracting talent and capital from across the country and around the world. These interactive maps from Forbes vividly show the migration to Houston, Austin and Dallas. While economically distressed states, such as California are experiencing outbound migration, Texas is attracting human capital. Compared to other states, Texas is a business-friendly state that has streamlined the regulation of industry. Texas does not impose a personal income tax and imposes a relatively modest business tax.
About Texas
Texas is the second-largest U.S. state by both area and population. Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the nation. Texas has led the nation in export revenue since 2002 and has the second-highest gross state product. Texas is the home of three cities with populations over one million residents: Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas. These three cities rank among the 10 most populous cities in the country.
Human Capital in Texas
Multinationals considering entering the United States and North American markets should consider forming their business in Texas. Employees from across the nation are being attracted by stable real estate prices and a relatively low unemployment rate in Texas.
Texas is a Hub of International Business
Texas is a hub for international trade. Nearly 15 percent of Texas’ economic output is related to exports, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. The Port of Houston has been the nation’s top port based in foreign waterborne tonnage and U.S. imports for nearly two decades.
