Notice of the Implementation of a Qualified Mortgage Credit Certificate Program

The Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation (the "Corporation"), a nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas, is implementing a qualified mortgage credit certificate program (the "Program") within the State of Texas (the "Program Area") to assist eligible purchasers. A Mortgage Credit Certificate ("MCC") is an instrument designed to assist persons better afford home ownership. The MCC Program allows first-time homebuyers an annual federal income tax credit equal to the credit rate for the MCC multiplied by the amount of interest paid by the holder on a home mortgage loan during each year that they occupy the home as their principal residence.

An eligible purchaser of a residence located within the Program Area may apply to the Corporation for an MCC through a participating lender of his or her choice at the time of purchasing a principal residence and obtaining a mortgage loan from a participating lender.

To be an eligible purchaser to receive an MCC, a purchaser must meet the following criteria:

(1) Be one of the following:

(a) A person living in Texas whose annual household income does not exceed 100% of area median family income ("AMFI") (for families of two persons or less) or 115% of AMFI (for families of three or more persons); or

(b) A full-time Texas classroom teacher, teacher's aide, school librarian, school nurse, school counselor, or an allied health or nursing faculty member whose annual family income does not exceed 100% of AMFI (for families of two persons or less) or 115% of AMFI (for families of three or more persons); or

(c) A full-time paid fire fighter, peace officer, corrections officer, juvenile corrections officer, county jailer, EMS personnel, veteran, or public security officer, working in the State of Texas whose annual family income does not exceed 100% of AMFI (for families of two persons or less) or 115% of AMFI (for families of three or more persons).

Visit www.tsahc.org for a more complete description of the maximum income limits.

(2) The applicant for the MCC cannot have had an ownership interest in his or her principal residence during the three-year period ending on the date the mortgage loan is obtained.

(3) The applicant must intend to occupy the residence with respect to which the MCC is obtained as his or her principal residence within 60 days after the MCC is issued. The MCC issued to an applicant will be revoked if the residence to which the MCC relates ceases to be occupied by the applicant as his or her principal residence.

(4) The MCC cannot be issued to an applicant in conjunction with the replacement or refinancing of an existing mortgage loan. The MCC can, however, be obtained in conjunction with the replacement of a construction period or bridge loan having a term of less than 24 months.

(5) Federal law imposes limitations on the purchase price of homes financed under the program. These limitations are periodically adjusted. Visit www.tsahc.org to view the current maximum purchase prices allowed. Two-family, three-family and four-family residences are also eligible, provided that one of the units will be occupied by the mortgagor as his or her principal residence and that the residence was first occupied for residential purposes at least five years prior to the closing of the mortgage.

Anyone receiving an MCC and selling his or her residence within nine years of the issuance of the MCC may be required to return all or a portion of the tax credit received in connection therewith to the Internal Revenue Service.

To defray the costs of implementing the Program, the Corporation will charge applicants a compliance fee, plus an MCC issuance fee.

The Corporation strongly encourages anyone who believes that he or she qualifies for an MCC to apply at the offices of a participating lender. For more information regarding the Program and its restrictions, including a list of current participating lenders, please contact Joniel LeVecque, Senior Director of Single Family Programs, at (512) 477-3561 or by email at jlevecque@tsahc.org.

DRAFT Marketing Practices Advisory - MPA027, Refunds, Credits, or Exchanges

Join TABC staff on October 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. by videoconference to discuss this amended advisory. The advisory has been amended to incorporate the brewer's self-distribution license and to update the allowable timeline for effectuating retailer refunds, credits, and exchanges. The advisory has also been reworded for clarity and includes updated statutory citations. For more details on the stakeholder meeting, please visit TABC's webpage at https://www.tabc.texas.gov/about-us/agency-meetings/. It is TABC's intent to receive comments for up to 30 days following the stakeholder meeting. Comments should be emailed to advisories@tabc.texas.gov.

DRAFT MARKETING PRACTICES ADVISORY - MPA027

Refunds, Credits, or Exchanges

To: Members of the Alcoholic Beverage Industry

This advisory intends to clarify the statutory provisions, exceptions, and agency authorized practices related to the legitimate business justifications for distributors, wholesalers, self-distribution brewers, and wineries issuing product refunds, credits, and exchanges to retailers.

Product Refunds and Exchanges

The Alcoholic Beverage Code ("Code") generally treats alcoholic beverages sold to retailers as a final sale-title to the product transfers to the retailer upon delivery without an opportunity for product exchanges or returns for a refund. In fact, providing a retailer with the right to return alcoholic beverages may constitute an illegal consignment sale. Except in the limited circumstances outlined in this advisory, wineries, brewers with a self-distribution license, distributors, and wholesalers may not provide a refund for or an exchange of alcoholic beverages sold to a retailer. Retailers may however make claims to replace product delivered in a damaged condition. In these instances, replaced product should be the same or similar in nature to the damaged product. TABC has historically viewed this authorization to include refunds for the damaged product in lieu of a replacement and allowed the refunds to be issued through a credit placed on the retailers account. Claims to refund or replace product delivered in a damaged condition should be completed within the below stated time period for inaccurate orders.

In light of the agency's duty to protect the public's health and safety, TABC has routinely used its enforcement discretion to extend the refund/replacement authorization to products deemed to pose a consumer safety issue caused during the manufacturing process. To effectuate an exchange due to consumer safety concerns, upper-tier members must immediately notify TABC of the issue and seek exchange approval. Nonetheless, refunds and product replacements may not be provided for alcoholic beverages that are damaged while in a retailer's possession.

With the stated intent of protecting malt beverage "product quality," the Code also authorizes distributors and brewers with a self-distribution license to, during a regular delivery and with the retailer's permission, withdraw and replace malt beverages possessed by a retailer in their undamaged original packaging. The distributor must replace the withdrawn product with identical malt beverages (i.e. the same brand, quantity, and packages). The withdrawal must occur before the date the product's brewer considers the malt beverages to be inappropriate for sale to consumers (i.e. the product's expiration date), and may not exceed an amount equivalent to 25 cases of 24 12-ounce containers. This statutory allowance is specific to malt beverages and does not extend to wine or distilled spirits.

Inaccurate Orders

TABC recognizes that the statutory authorizations discussed above do not account for product that was delivered in error and that in many circumstances, especially for high volume orders, retailers are unable to immediately account for unordered products and refuse a delivery. In accordance with TABC's duty to ensure fair competition, the agency will not consider the following to be a violation of the Code:

Prior to the next scheduled delivery, but not more than 15 days after the date of delivery, a refund or credit may be provided by a distributor, wholesaler, brewer with a self-distribution license, or winery for a delivery that is inconsistent with the order placed by the retailer.

Distributors, wholesalers, applicable brewers, and wineries should provide retailers with a credit memo or exchange receipt stating the reason for and date of the credit or exchange. A copy of these records must be retained by each party along with its regular business records.

Although TABC will not consider the above actions as a violation, industry members should be cognizant of the prohibitions against consignment sales. A practice or pattern of frequent or repeated exchanges claiming to be necessary because of inconsistent deliveries may indicate, and may be used as evidence of, the occurrence of illegal consignment sales. Similarly, industry members should be mindful that credits provided to retailers may be viewed and prosecuted as unlawful inducements or prohibited trade practices, especially if adequate records supporting the basis for the credit are not maintained. TABC will take regulatory action against all involved parties in cases where a distributor's, wholesaler's, or winery's actions allow a retailer to exchange product or obtain a refund or credit for reasons other than those stated in this advisory.

Statement from TABC

This advisory is issued pursuant to §5.57 of the Alcoholic Beverage Code. It has been approved by Andrea Maceyra, Chief of Regulatory Affairs, and represents the opinion of the staff of the Commission. We hope this opinion will assist you in your endeavors. If you would like additional information or have questions regarding this advisory, you may contact TABC in writing at P.O. Box 13127, Austin, Texas 78711; by email at advisories@tabc.texas.gov; or by phone at (512) 206-3411.

Texas Water Code and Texas Health and Safety Code Settlement Notice

Notice is hereby given by the State of Texas of the following proposed resolution of an environmental enforcement action under the Texas Water Code and the Texas Health and Safety Code. Before the State may enter into a voluntary settlement agreement, pursuant to section 7.110 of the Texas Water Code, the State shall permit the public to comment in writing on the proposed judgment. The Attorney General will consider any written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed agreed judgment if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Texas Water Code.

Case Title and Court: Harris County, Texas, and the State of Texas v. Ted Booher and Rapid Marine Fuels, LLC; Cause No. 2021-56988, in the 281st Judicial District, Harris County, Texas.

Nature of the Suit: Defendant Rapid Marine Fuels, LLC (the "Defendant") operated a used oil recycling facility located in La Porte, Texas. Harris County, Texas filed an enforcement action against the Defendant for local code violations and violations of state environmental laws. The State of Texas, on behalf of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ"), joined the lawsuit as a necessary and indispensable party and filed its own separate enforcement claims against the Defendant for violations of the Texas Health and Safety Code, Texas Water Code, regulations issued thereunder, and a TCEQ administrative order.

The proposed Agreed Final Judgment additionally awards Harris County, Texas $125,000 to settle its environmental enforcement claims, $800,000 to settle its local code enforcement claims, and $100,000 in attorney's fees. The parties agreed that the permanent injunction granted against Defendant in December 2024 continues to be in effect. This settlement does not resolve the State of Texas's claims against any other party in the lawsuit.

For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete proposed Agreed Final Judgment should be reviewed. Requests for copies of the judgment, and written comments on the proposed settlement, should be directed to Roel Torres, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General, P.O.

The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Natural Gas Production Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §201.059, that the average taxable price of gas for reporting period August 2026 is $1.36 per mcf for the three-month period beginning on May 1, 2026, and ending July 31, 2026. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §201.059, gas produced during the month of August 2026, from a qualified low-producing well, is eligible for a 100% credit on the natural gas production tax imposed by Tax Code, Chapter 201.

Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §171.1011(r), a taxable entity shall not exclude total revenue received from oil produced during the month of August 2026, from a qualified low-producing oil well.

The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Franchise Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §171.1011(s), that the average closing price of gas for the month of August 2026 is $2.78 per MMBtu.

On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of th e Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Registerpp. 1439 - 1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of September 3, 2026 to September 11, 2026. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.20(f), 30.30(h), and 30.40(e), the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, September 18, 2026. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 18, 2026.

Federal License and Permit Activities:

Applicant: Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

Location:The project site is located in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) along the shoreline of the JD Murphree Wildlife Management Area (WMA), approximately 4.17 miles west of Sabine Pass, in Jefferson County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.7799208, -94.0279518

Project Description: The applicant proposes to discharge approximately 36,715 cubic yards of fill into 9.0 acres of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) along the JD Murphree Wildlife Management Area (WMA) shoreline to construct a 17,870-linear-foot (3.5-mile) rock breakwater in 4 segments. The breakwaters will be constructed of graded riprap (R-300 gradation) to a crest elevation of +3.0 feet, which is an average of 4.5 feet above existing grade at the centerline, with a 3-foot top width and 2:1 side slopes, which equates to a base of 21 feet. Each of the breakwaters are designed with 30-foot-wide fish passes at 500-foot intervals to facilitate the movement of water, sediment, and aquatic species. Fish passes would be lined with rock (approximately 18 inches) to a 0.0 elevation to prevent excess scour at these locations. The riprap will be placed within open water in the breakwater footprints using barge-based equipment and other types of marine equipment, including but not limited to low ground pressure, amphibious equipment (i.e., marsh excavators, Morooka trucks, rolligon trucks, etc.) in shallow, open water areas. Barge size is not expected to exceed 180 feet by 60 feet by 12 feet in size. Barges will travel up and down the alignment between the navigational channel and the GIWW side toe of the breakwater to accomplish construction. Geotextile fabric will be placed in the footprint of the breakwaters prior to placement of riprap using either a long-reach excavator operating from a barge or small John boats. Once the geotextile fabric is in place, riprap will be moved from the barge and placed onto the breakwater locations. This process will continue until construction of the breakwaters is complete. All work will be conducted in open water. There will be no equipment use/access or staging areas on land or in wetlands, and there would be no impact to wetland areas.

The overall purpose of the proposed project is to slow erosion of the JD Murphree WMA shoreline due to wave action and other natural processes, and to protect/conserve valuable wetland habitat and other assets/resources of importance to the management of the WMA.

The applicant has stated that they have avoided and minimized environmental impacts to waters of the United States associated with the proposed activity by conducting all work within and from the water. There will be no equipment use/access or staging areas on land or in wetlands, or impact to wetland areas. The applicant has not proposed any compensatory mitigation because there would be no discharge of fill into or loss of special aquatic sites. Upon completion of the project, the proposed breakwaters will provide beneficial effects including protection of the shoreline and approximately 1,000 acres of wetlands within the JD Murphree WMA. The USACE will determine the type and amount of compensatory mitigation necessary to offset losses of waters of the United States which may result from the proposed activity in accordance with 33 CFR §332.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2026-00244. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 26-1212-F1

Applicant: Texas City Terminal Railway Company

Location: The project site is located in Galveston Bay, north of the Texas City Channel Turning Basin, approximately 0.52-mile east of southeast of the intersection of Bay Street South and 2nd Avenue South, in Texas City, Galveston County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.3810312, -94.8848401

Project Description: The applicant proposes to dredge 311,204 cubic yards of material from a 25.27-acre fleeting area to a depth of -15-foot mean lower low water to ensure safe navigation. The 25.27-acre fleeting area was previously authorized under Department of the Army Permit Number SWG-2024-00831. Dredged material will be placed in existing authorized dredge material placement areas (DMPAs) located on the Shoal Point properties. Snake Island Placement Area Cell A will serve as the primary placement area and any subsequent material placed into Snake Island Placement Area Cell C and/or Federal DMPA No. 5 and No. 6. No compensatory mitigation is proposed.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2024-00831. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District has found that this permit request meets the terms of Executive Order 14156 and is therefore subject to special emergency permitting procedures and an expedited review process.

CMP Project No: 26-1214-F1e

Applicant: Enterprise Products Operating LLC

Location: The project site is located in the Houston Ship Channel at the Enterprise Houston Terminal, 15602 Jacintoport Boulevard, in Houston, Harris County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.7385969, -95.1221351

Project Description: The applicant proposes to modify Department of the Army Permit SWG-2008-00073 to dredge approximately 120,085 cubic yards of new work material from an approximately 15.4-acre area of the Houston Ship Channel to deepen the existing Dock 9 to a maximum depth of -48.5 feet mean lower low water. The dredged material would be placed in one of the following upland confined placement areas, with associated return water effluent: Glendale, House Tract, Clinton, Laughlin-Thyssin, Rosa Allen, East/West Jones, Greens Bayou, Beltway 8 Tract, Texas Deepwater (Pinto Lion), Lost Lake, Adloy, Avera, Goat Island, Peggy Lake, Bertron, Alexander Island, and Spilman Island.

The applicant has stated that they have avoided and minimized environmental impacts to waters of the United States associated with the proposed activity by designing the project to avoid permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters of the US to the maximum extent practicable by maintaining the previously authorized dredge footprint. Only temporary impacts to waters of the US are expected as a result of the proposed Project. Best Management Practices will be used, where possible, to minimize temporary impacts to the maximum extent practicable. The applicant has not proposed any compensatory mitigation because there will be no loss of waters of the US or impacts to special aquatic sites. The USACE will determine the type and amount of compensatory mitigation necessary to offset losses of waters of the United States which may result from the proposed activity in accordance with 33 CFR §332.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2008-00073. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.

CMP Project No: 26-1218-F1

Applicant: Port of Houston Authority

Location: The project site is located in the Houston Ship Channel, Barbours Cut Channel, and Lower San Jacinto Bay (LSJB), in La Porte, Harris County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.6907804, -95.0136029

Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct a new containerized marine cargo terminal to accommodate current and future generations of container vessels in the Greater Houston area. The proposed Barbours Cut Northside Expansion Project, a marine container terminal expansion in La Porte, Harris County, Texas, is intended to increase container-handling capacity, modernize port infrastructure, and accommodate anticipated future container volumes. Port of Houston Authority's existing marine container terminals are expected to reach maximum throughput capacity by 2033. The proposed project would provide additional containerized marine cargo capacity to meet projected demand. Phased construction is anticipated to begin no later than 2032, with terminal capacity anticipated to be available by 2036.

The proposed project would consist of the following major components:

Dredging and/or excavation of up to 66.204 acres in Barbours Cut, including expansion of the existing Barbours Cut Turning Basin (BCTB) by approximately 35.898 acres, creation of approximately 30.306 acres of open water, and conversion of approximately 0.71 acre of waters.

Creation of two vessel berthing slips totaling approximately 15.6 acres and capable of supporting two Ultra Large Container Vessels, as well as creation of an approximately 1.5-acre non-berthing vessel maneuvering area.

Installation of approximately 3,200 linear feet of pile-supported concrete wharf along the landward edge of the new berthing slips.

Development of an approximately 318-acre marine container terminal on the southwestern end of the Spilman Island Placement Area.

Construction of a new approximately 135-acre Dredged Material Placement Facility in Lower San Jacinto Bay.

Modification of the existing Spilman Island Placement Area to create a smaller dredged material disposal facility on North Spilman Island, including installation of a new approximately 7,300-linear-foot east-west containment dike within the existing Spilman Island Placement Area.

Construction of two terminal access roads (North and South) across Lower San Jacinto Bay; upgrades to multiple off-terminal Texas Department of Transportation roads within the State Highway (SH) 225 and SH 146 interchange; and construction of two property access driveways.

Construction associated with drainage channels and outfall structures, as well as relocation or movement of existing pipelines.

The proposed project is anticipated to result in unavoidable impacts to waters of the United States including Waters of the United States under the Clean Water Act and Navigable Waters under Section 10 the Rivers and Harbors Act. Preliminary estimates a total of approximately 16,665 linear feet of tidal shoreline that may be impacted by fill associated with the project construction. Other aquatic resource impacts include the dredging and filling of 136.88 acres of open water in LSJB, the excavation and dredging of 66.204 acres of open water in BCTB, the dredging and fill of 355 acres of low marsh and the excavation of 3.21 acres of high marsh, the fill of 0.65 acre of freshwater wetlands, and the fill of 2.48 acres of unconsolidated bottom. Impacts to linear resources include the dredging and filling 334.92 linear feet stream. These impacts are associated with construction of the terminal facilities, navigation improvements, roadway access infrastructure, and utility relocations and are limited to those areas necessary to meet project purpose and operational requirements.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2025-00640. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Sections 10 and 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 27-1002-F1

Applicant: Space Explorations Technologies Corp.

Location: The project site is located in South Bay beginning at Milky Ave and terminating at the Space Explorations Technologies Corp (SpaceX) Production Facility in Starbase, Cameron County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 25.967335, -97.208238

Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct an approximately 2.7-mile heavy haul route to transport Starship and Super Heavy rocket components and associated launch infrastructure between the Massey Test Facility and SpaceX Production Facility. The heavy haul route would consist of an approximately 38-foot-wide travel surface with 1-foot-wide shoulders and a 3:1 max fill slope on the north side. Three existing cross culverts under State Highway (SH) 4 and five proposed equalizer culverts associated with an unrelated project to widen SH 4 would be extended below the proposed haul route to maintain or improve water flow. In addition, a wildlife crossing proposed as part of the SH 4 Widening Project would be extended below the haul route to facilitate safe passage for wildlife across the larger SH 4 roadway facility. The proposed project would result in the unavoidable discharge of fill material into approximately 2.676 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands, 0.278 acres of estuarine emergent wetlands, 0.210 acres of estuarine scrub-shrub wetlands, and 7.185 acres of wind-tidal flats. The proposed project would also temporarily impact 0.692 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands, 0.092 acres of estuarine emergent wetlands, 0.001 acres of estuarine scrub-shrub wetlands, and 1.454 acres of wind-tidal flats.

The applicant has stated that they have avoided and minimized environmental impacts to waters of the United States associated with the proposed activity by staying within the Texas Department of Transportation State SH 4 right-of-way, designed slopes to a 3:1 gradient, and using silt fences to reduce run-off into adjacent special aquatic sites. The applicant has proposed to purchase 7.033 functional unit credits from the Rockhands Mitigation Bank to offset unavoidable impacts to waters of the US. The USACE will determine the type and amount of compensatory mitigation necessary to offset losses of waters of the United States which may result from the proposed activity in accordance with 33 CFR §332.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2026-00492. This application will be reviewed pursuant Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.

For FFY 2028, the estimated annual expenditure increase is $456,656,516, consisting of $269,427,344 in federal funds and $187,229,171in state funds. For FFY 2029, the estimated annual expenditure increase is $471,726,181, consisting of $278,318,447 in federal funds and $193,407,734 in state funds.
