Texas Gov. signs game industry tax break bill into law

With this legislation, we are strengthening our state’s investment in a vital industry that not only shows off our state to the rest of the world, but also draws investment and creates jobs for Texans. - Texas Gov. Rick Perry

I commend Governor Rick Perry and the Texas state legislature for recognizing the contributions that the video game industry already has made in the state, and for acting quickly and decisively to ensure that the industry has the opportunity to reach its full potential. Today, Texas showed its strong willingness to stay competitive with other states that are seeking to attract video game developers and publishers. - ESA CEO Mike Gallagher

This is a pretty big step for Texas. I wonder if more states will follow in Mr. Perry’s footsteps. For the sake of the game industry, I hope so.
