Texas is set to announce the outcome of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to establish a Texas Israel Office in Jerusalem, supporting a deepened economic relationship. The RFP was distributed in November 2025, with submissions due January 6, 2026.

Texas and Israel have a robust trade relationship worth around $4 billion annually, focusing on defense, cybersecurity, and innovation. Key figures include David Yaari, CEO of the Texas Israel Partnership, and various organizations supporting the initiative. Stakeholders emphasize the economic focus and potential for collaboration, particularly in technology and investment, as Texas prepares to formalize this relationship.
