Methodology This analysis assumes that the OOG would continue to grant appropriated funding to the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC), given that TFC has received the majority of prior funding for the construction of new border barrier alignments. This analysis also assumes that TFC would be designated responsibility for operations and maintenance of the border barrier. Local Government Impact The fiscal implications of the bill to units of local government cannot be determined at this time.
