Texas HUB Program – Note: Race/Ethnicity Criteria Removed December 2025

IMPORTANT: As of December 2025, Texas removed race, ethnicity, and sex as qualifying criteria from the HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) program, renaming it VetHUB for disabled veteran-owned businesses only. Minority-owned businesses should pursue federal SBA 8(a), NMSDC, and city-level certifications instead.
