Texas Adds to List of BOOT Program Broadband Grants

The Bringing Online Opportunities to Texas (BOOT) Program, which announced a second round of broadband grants for $701.9 million earlier in 2025, has updated its list of grantees to include seven new awards. The awards now cover more than 76,000 locations in Bastrop, Burleson, Caldwell, Carson, Coleman, Colorado, Edwards, Falls, Fannin, Irion, Karnes, Kenedy, Liberty, Marion, Morris, Newton, Reagan, Roberts, Throckmorton, and Trinity counties. Fiber technology is preferred, though several counties’ projects are hybrid projects. Broadband grants given to Texas providers using fiber commit to providing 1 Gbps symmetrical service and unbundled, low-cost options for subscribers.
