Texas Opportunity Zone Map

Use this Texas page to find state Opportunity Zone source paths, understand how Texas frames the current and next QOZ cycles, and move from broad map research toward census tract confirmation.

State source

Texas Governor Opportunity Zones page

The Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office page is the first state source path for Texas Opportunity Zone research, including OZ 2.0 process notes, Texas tract files, map links, and contact context.

Open Texas source page

OZ 1.0 context

Current designated Texas tracts

Texas source material states that Governor Greg Abbott nominated 628 census tracts in 145 counties in 2018, across 5,265 Texas census tracts at the time of that nomination process.

OZ 2.0 context

New nomination cycle

Texas describes a renewed OZ 2.0 process with nominations beginning July 1, 2026, designations beginning January 1, 2027, and a state nomination workflow led by EDT.

Texas map research path

  1. Start with the Texas Governor Opportunity Zones page for current state links, including the Texas QOZ excel listing, current map links, and OZ 2.0 nomination materials.
  2. Use a ZIP code only to narrow the local research area. For a specific address, identify the census tract before comparing it with state and federal sources.
  3. Cross-check Texas source material against CDFI Fund, HUD, Treasury, IRS, and Census Bureau references listed on the Data Sources page.
  4. Keep OZ 1.0 and OZ 2.0 context separate. A current designated tract, a newly listed tract, and a nomination candidate can represent different research questions.

What this page can support

This page supports research navigation: finding Texas source material, separating ZIP-level exploration from census tract confirmation, and pointing users to federal source categories. It does not decide tax status, investment outcomes, project compliance, or property-level claims.
