Its mission to create opportunity and connect businesses continues today. Our core functions are to serve as a clearinghouse for Texas music industry information via the TMO's Texas Music Industry Directory (a business referral network comprised of 16,000-plus Texas music businesses), serve as a liaison between music businesses and government offices and agencies, publicize significant developments within the industry, and to attract essential music industry to foster the economic development of Texas music businesses and musicians. TEXAS MUSIC ECONOMY Combined, music business and music education directly account for just under 90,000 permanent jobs, $4.6 billion in annual earnings, and just over $10.8 billion in annual economic activity, comparable to the results pre- pandemic. The ripple effects associated with the direct injection related to music business and music education bring the total impact (including the direct effects) to over 192,000 permanent jobs, $9.4 billion in earnings, and $26.6 billion in annual economic activity. The State of Texas also realizes approximately $470 million in tax revenue from these impacts. (2023 Eco Impact Study) TEXAS MUSIC INCUBATOR REBATE PROGRAM The Texas Music Incubator Rebate (TMIR) Program was established by Senate Bill 609 and signed into law by Governor Abbott following the 87th Legislative Session. With $20.2 million in funding approved for the biennium in the 88th Legislative Session, the TMIR Program will provide qualifying music venues and festival promoters in Texas a full or partial rebate of the mixed beverage gross receipts taxes or sales taxes attributable to the sale of beer and wine in the prior fiscal year to help support the live music industry in communities across the state. The TMIR Program will be administered by the Texas Music Office.

In addition, this fund is able to partner with non-profit organizations to create experiences featuring Texas music in under-served communities statewide.
