1. Ratification of authorization to apply for the Texas Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) grant program for the Hidalgo County LEPC.
2. Approval to authorize the Hidalgo County Judge and/or Hidalgo County Emergency Management Coordinator as the county authorized official to sign all documents. 

The funds for the Texas LEPC Grant Program are appropriated to the TCEQ by the Legislature and are subject to change annually. Grant funding is approximately $670,000 total for all awards during the 2026 grant round.
This grant is intended to allow LEPC's to establish, maintain, and/or improve their implementation of EPCRA. Only LEPC's that are officially recognized by the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) are eligible for this grant.
Applications are reviewed and awarded at TCEQ's discretion. Priority will be given to first-time grantees that are unfunded or requesting items that preserve life and safety.
TCEQ is not obligated to select applications for funding, even if received within the application deadline. TCEQ may also select parts of a proposal for funding and may offer to fund less than the dollar amount requested in a proposal.
