The Emergency and Deficiency Grants program, administered by the Office of the Governor of Texas, provides financial support to state agencies facing fiscal problems or emergencies. Authorized by Texas Government Code Section 403.075, the program is designed to ensure that agencies experiencing insufficient funds or special needs due to unforeseen circumstances can continue their operations without requiring a special legislative session or budget execution authority. Funding is intended strictly for emergency situations or deficiencies that threaten the agency's ability to operate.
