Welcome TO TEXAS USDA Rural Development

Welcome to the Texas Web Site for USDA Rural Development. We administer programs for community development and economic advancement of our state's small cities and rural areas. These programs include housing, infrastructure, and business development financing through grants, loans, and guaranteed loans. We stand ready to assist in all manners of community development and are eager to work with other agencies, public organizations, and the private sector to help assemble resources to meet the needs of rural Texas.

We hope you'll find enough information at this site to interest you in contacting us for more details. You can call or visit any of our 10 Area or 15 Sub-Area Offices throughout the state.
