Several states have them, most notably our neighbors New Mexico and Louisiana (an LA has a video game company incentive program, too).
Texas needs one, and the "but we don't charge state income tax" evasion is wearing thin.
Enter the Texas Motion Picture Alliance (TXMPA), a organization gathering steam in making a difference in Texas.
And on Wednesday, February 7th, they're having a party. A fundraising party, but a party, nonetheless.
Also, everyone should go to the TXMPA Website and register -- strength in numbers (and all that). Besides, this benefits the overall Texas economy and you directly in your creative persuits and opportunities.
Here's the skinny:
