TDHCA has announced a rule action relating to 10 TAC Chapter 1, Subchapter D, Uniform Guidance for Recipients of Federal and State Funds, Section 1.401 Effective Date and Definitions, that was approved by the TDHCA Governing Board on November 6, 2025. This rule will be released for public comment and returned to the Board for final adoption.

The rule, including its preamble, is expected to be published in the Texas Register edition for November 21, 2025. The published version will constitute the official version for purposes of public comment and can be found at the following link: https://www.sos.texas.gov/texreg/index.shtml.

The purpose of this action: This section of the rule provides for the effective date of when the uniform guidance for recipients of federal and state funds is in effect. That rule also specified that Texas Grant Management Standards (TxGMS) 2.0 was the current version of the state grant standards. However, in October 2025, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts released the Texas Grant Management Standards (TxGMS), Version 2.1 replacing TxGMS Version 2.0. Therefore, the Department rule needs to be revised to incorporate those changes. This rule will be released for public comment and returned to the Board for final adoption.

The proposed rule action can be found on the TDHCA Public Comment Center at https://www.tdhca.texas.gov/tdhca-public-comment-center.
