What Is This Place?

I probably should have started things off with a quick introduction. Yesterday’s post was an update on the most popular question I get as of late, “Has the state announced anything on this round yet?”, and I wanted to put something out there.

That’s pretty much the purpose of this website, answering some of the more common questions about the TCEQ’s TERP grant system and giving updates as new information becomes available. Since we sell heavy construction equipment expect the focus to be on off-road machinery. Some information in future posts may apply to things like on-road haul trucks as well, but if receiving grants for those products is your goal this site may not be your best resource. The state’s TERP page is linked over to the right and they staff a free help line you can call.

We first started helping customers file TERP grants in 2004-2005. The program has evolved quite a bit and seems to be more popular than ever. Those just learning about TERP and those who haven’t had the chance to follow the changes will hopefully benefit by checking this place out.

The comments section is available, but will be moderated. For now each comment will have to be approved before appearing. If you don’t immediately see your comment, don’t worry. It’s more of an effort to filter spam than anything else. Those of you with blogs of your own will understand.

If you want to ask a question or suggest a topic, but do not want to post on the blog you can email me at pparker@romco.com with whatever TERP issue you have. I have a few topics in mind, but you input is more than welcome.

Thanks for stopping by.

Waiting To Hear

As of today still no word on the results of the latest TERP round. The deadline for ERIG applications was February 20th and it usually takes around 3 months for word to come down.

I called yesterday for a progress report and learned it could be 2-3 more weeks, but considering how fluid a situation this can be I’d take any estimate from anybody with a grain of salt.

In the state’s defense they have an absolute mountain of paperwork to sift through and many applications require follow-up to verify information.

From what they say it’s in the last stages before they start making approval calls to applicants. When word comes down that those calls have started I’ll post it here.
