The first step to becoming certified by the State of Texas as a Historically
Underutilized Business is determining whether your company meets the requirements
for HUB certification, which are as follows:
At least 51% of the assets and interest and at least 51% of any classes of
stock and equitable securities are owned by one or more persons who are United
States citizens, born or naturalized, and are recognized by the State of Texas
as having been economically disadvantaged because of their identification as
members of the following groups:
Asian Pacific Americans
Black Americans
Hispanic Americans
Native Americans
American Women
These individuals must have a proportionate interest and demonstrate active
participation in the control, operation and management of the business' affairs.
If you believe your business meets these requirements, a
HUB
Certification application must be completed and submitted to the
Texas
Building and Procurement Commission HUB Division. If you need assistance
in completing the forms, you may contact the TBPC or the SFA Director of Purchasing & Inventory/HUB
Coordinator, 936-468-4037.
