Digital Media Friendly Texas Certified Communities

The Digital Media Friendly Texas (DMFTX) program provides ongoing training and guidance to help statewide communities connect Digital Media professionals with skilled municipal liaisons across the state to provide local expertise and showcase community resources while simultaneously fostering hyper-local Digital Media communities to surface existing professionals and attract new ones.

Certified communities have attended an official educational workshop to learn about these forward-thinking industries, registered the minimum number of Digital Media resources (companies, crew, or organizations) in the Texas Production Directory (TPD), and created a local Digital Media Committee to chart their unique path forward.

Below are the list of Texas communities that have successfully completed the program and are Digital Media Friendly Texas Certified.
