The Texas Film Commission does not track all projects made in Texas. Many more projects are made in Texas each year than are reflected here. *Estimate includes production budgets for television commercials, corporate films/videos, documentaries, music videos and other types of film/television production not tracked by the Texas Film Commission. Figures are based on a 1993 survey of Texas advertising agencies and are adjusted annually for inflation and industry growth. **Estimate includes production budgets for televised sporting events. Figures are based on 2003 research and are adjusted annually for inflation and market fluctuation. Source: Texas Film Commission, (512) 463-9200 |
