The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has developed best management practices and guidance for the installation, maintenance, and operation of outdoor warning sirens, as required by Senate Bill 3 (SB 3). The Flash Flood Warning Siren Guide is now available on the TWDB website and outlines requirements that all systems must meet as well as broader recommendations for effective system design and implementation.

The TWDB is working to implement SB 3 on a highly accelerated timeline, and updates are posted online as they are made available. Visit the TWDB SB 3 Flood Sirens Program webpage to see the latest resources and information. For questions related to SB 3 implementation, please send an email to Flood_Sirens_Program@twdb.texas.gov.

The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) is pleased to announce the release of a new grant opportunity for the upcoming Program Year 2026:

2026 Downtown Revitalization Program, including Main Street Set-Aside (CDM)

Purpose:             The TxCDBG Downtown Revitalization Program provides funding for infrastructure improvements to promote pedestrian-centered economic activity.

Eligible municipalities may apply to address slum and blighted conditions in the downtown district – these projects most commonly include sidewalk and lighting improvements. Applicant communities that qualify as predominantly low- to moderate-income may apply for other downtown improvements to support pedestrian-based economic activity.

Maximum Grant Amount:                             $1,000,000

Community Application Deadline:             April 3, 2026

Link to CDM landing page, including the Application Guide

Application Webinars and Technical Assistance

The application process for Program Year 2026 includes two distinct phases.  The Community Application, due April 3, 2026, will collect information needed to assess community eligibility and scoring.  Applicants that score within funding range will be invited to submit a Project Application that identifies a project and details the specific work to be performed.

A webinar has been planned to assist applicants with this new process – no registration is required, and the link to join the session will be available on the TxCDBG Training webpage.

If you have questions regarding either application, please reach out to CDBGApps@TexasAgriculture.gov.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
