The short answer: Texas has no verified home Level 2 dollar amount in this edition. Programs below are quoted so a public, multifamily, commercial, or non-EV credit is not mistaken for a garage rebate. Utility rows name the offer AFDC lists and do not add a price. The federal Section 30C credit does not apply to a charger placed in service after June 30, 2026.

Programs a resident may apply for
No resident, make-ready, financing, or incentive-requirement record for a home charger was included for Texas in this edition.
Programs that are not a single-family garage rebate
These are included so a workplace grant, a multifamily grant, or a fuel credit that is not electricity is not read as money off a home charger.
Austin Energy charging-station rebate
Utility or agency page reviewed 2026-10-30. Austin Energy describes this amount as a business rebate. An e-bike rebate on the same page is not a home charger rebate and is not repeated here.

What to do with this list
Apply on the program site, not from this page. Ask the electrician for an itemized quote before you buy the charger. Whether the panel can take the circuit is a separate question, and that guide does not publish an upgrade price.
