PROGRAM SUMMARY & QUALIFICATIONS
|
|
In order to conduct production activity on a state property, a Request
for Use Application must be submitted to the Texas Film Commission
(TFC). This form should only be used once a Production Company has
made the decision to use a particular state property. Should the Production
Company wish to use more than one state property, a Request for Use
Application will need to be completed for each desired location. If
you are interested in scouting a state property, contact the TFC directly.
A production company is only eligible to conduct production activity
on a state property if they meet the following requirements:
- They must have production insurance in the amount required by
the desired location that names the State of Texas as an additional
insured.
- The project must be a film, television, commercial, or still shoot
for educational, industrial, or commercial purposes.
- The content of the project must not be obscene in nature,
as defined by Texas Penal Code §43.21.
|
APPLICATION PROCESS
|
- A Request for Use Application must be received before the commencement
of production activity at the desired location, and must also include
a certificate of liability insurance.
- Once an application is submitted, TFC shall email the Applicant
notifying them that their application has been received.
- The TFC may contact the Applicant to verify that
all the information on the application is correct.
- The TFC and the state agency governing the Applicant's desired
location will determine if the request is feasible based on location
availability, description of production activity, and location's
capabilities. At that time, the TFC will notify the Applicant in
writing of whether or not their request has been approved.
- All required form fields are marked with an "*".
