About the Texas Production Market
Texas is one of the largest and most diverse production markets in North America, spanning three major metros that each bring their own distinct character to video production. Austin's tech boom and vibrant creative culture make it a hotspot for branded content, SXSW coverage, and startup storytelling. Dallas anchors the state's corporate video market with its concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, professional sports teams, and a production community shaped by decades of commercial and broadcast work. Houston's energy industry, medical center, and international port drive a constant stream of industrial, corporate, and documentary production.
Assignment Desk has staff Directors of Photography in all three Texas markets, giving clients statewide coverage with local crew who know the terrain, the traffic, and the best locations. Texas's no state income tax advantage extends to production crews, and the state's business-friendly regulatory environment makes permitting straightforward compared to many coastal markets.
The sheer geographic scale of Texas means having local crew matters more here than almost anywhere else — it's a five-hour drive from Houston to Dallas and three hours from Dallas to Austin. Assignment Desk's distributed Texas team ensures you always have a crew member within striking distance, whether you're filming at a downtown Dallas corporate campus, a Houston oil refinery, or an Austin food truck park.
