"Our agency is awarding this critical funding under our legislative directive to connect every Texan to broadband service," Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said in the announcement.
"Ensuring all Texans have access to reliable, high-speed internet is important for Texas' continued economic growth and prosperity."
The initiative could connect 20% of Texans who lack access to reliable broadband, with a potential funding of $729 million.
To win awards, companies must replace poles with new poles that provide a minimum of 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload.
