Open Data Portal
Access Food and Nutrition program data any time on the Texas Open Data Portal.
 
The Texas Open Data Portal is a web-based platform that allows members of the public to access datasets published by Texas government. It is also known as Data.Texas.Gov. Sponsored by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR), the Texas Open Data Portal aims to promote government transparency, encourage citizen participation, and enable the efficient use of public resources.

What can be accessed from the Texas Open Data Portal?

Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) has joined multiple state and local governments in adding their most commonly requested data in the form of datasets, maps, and data-based visualizations.

Datasets for the most recent program year are updated regularly to ensure data accurately reflects changes characteristic of program progress.
