Why Texas?

Texas is where liberty lives. That’s why the Lone Star State has led the nation in population growth over the last 17 years and continues to be a top state for job creation. As the 9th largest economy among the nations of the world, Texas offers a combination of unique competitive business advantages that no other state can claim: a business-friendly climate—with no corporate or personal income tax—along with a highly skilled and diverse workforce, easy access to global markets, robust infrastructure and a reasonable regulatory environment.

Those are just some of the advantages that helped Texas win the Governor’s Cup for the most new and expanded corporate facility projects in the nation—for a record-breaking 11th year in a row. That’s also why Texas continually ranks as the Best State for Business by the nation's top CEOs. “Made in Texas” is a powerful global brand and by unleashing the power of entrepreneurs and innovators, and securing the freedom to aspire, Texas will long remain the best state for businesses large and small.
