Texas’ economy grew at a faster pace than the national average in the second quarter of 2025, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). The state’s real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 6.8%, compared to the national rate of 3.8%.

“Texas is where free enterprise flourishes and families prosper,” said Governor Greg Abbott. “Thanks to the productivity of our skilled and growing workforce and our pro-growth economic policies, Texas is where the American Dream lives. We will continue to cut red tape, streamline regulations, and invest in career and technical training to build on this momentum for a bigger, better Texas for generations to come.”

The BEA report also indicated that personal incomes in Texas rose by 6.4% annually during the same period, outpacing the national average increase of 5.5%.

Governor Abbott highlighted these results during a fireside chat at the second annual Texas Economic Development Corporation Investor Summit earlier this week.
