Bringing Online Opportunities to Texas (BOOT) II Program 

BOOT II is a competitive broadband grant program aimed at funding countywide infrastructure projects that bring broadband access to end users in eligible areas of the state. Two counties in each of the Comptroller’s 12 economic regions were selected on a demonstrated need, measured by the percentage of eligible locations lacking broadband service at speeds of 100/20 Mbps.  If fully funded, the program could serve more than 97,000 Texans lacking connectivity. Eligible entities include political subdivisions of the state, commercial and non-commercial broadband service providers and partnerships between political subdivisions of the state and commercial and non-commercial broadband services providers. Eligible counties: Medina, Karnes, Bastrop, Caldwell, Burleson, Falls, Libert, Colorado, Carson, Roberts, Navarro, Fannin, Coleman, Throckmorton, Edwards, Kenedy, Trinity, Newton, Marion, Morris, Jeff Davis, Hudspeth, Irion and Reagan.
