flag Texas halted its HUB program, excluding most minority and women veterans from state contracts over legal concerns.

flag Texas has frozen its HUB program, which supported women, minority, and disabled veteran-owned businesses in securing state contracts, citing constitutional concerns and a ban on diversity initiatives. flag The Comptroller’s office restructured the program to include only small businesses owned by veterans with 20% or higher service-connected disabilities, excluding most prior beneficiaries. flag While existing contracts remain valid, many business owners face uncertainty, anxiety, and financial strain due to the abrupt change and inconsistent communication. flag The shift has sparked criticism from advocates who argue it undermines efforts to address historical inequities and may exceed legal authority. flag The program’s future remains unclear, with no court rulings on its constitutionality and legislative efforts to end it failing.
