flag Texas replaces HUB program with VetHUB, excluding women and minorities from state contracting eligibility.

flag Texas has immediately revoked HUB certifications for women- and minority-owned businesses, replacing the program with VetHUB, which will only include service-disabled veterans with a 20% or higher disability rating. flag The change, implemented under emergency rules by the Comptroller’s office, eliminates race- and sex-based criteria in state contracting, citing compliance with executive orders banning diversity initiatives. flag The move follows a freeze on HUB certifications in October and comes amid a pending federal lawsuit over the program’s fairness. flag Contracts awarded before the change remain unaffected, but the full impact on affected businesses is unclear as new criteria have not been detailed.
