TXP

What TXP does

TXP, Inc. is an Austin, Texas-based economic analysis and public policy consulting firm founded in 1987 by Jon Hockenyos. The firm delivers five integrated service lines: economic and fiscal impact analysis, tax increment financing (TIRZ/PID/TRZ) consulting, economic development and land use planning, EB-5 program services (regional center establishment, targeted employment area identification, and RFE responses), and tax revenue forecasting with demographic projections. TXP maintains a proprietary national census tract level unemployment rate database paired with GIS mapping capabilities that support its EB-5 TEA work and broader economic analyses.

The firm serves a primarily public sector client base spanning Texas cities (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Brownsville, El Paso, Denton, New Braunfels, and others), state agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), regional authorities (Capital Metro, DART, Capital Area MPO, Edwards Aquifer Authority), non-profits (Annie E. Casey Foundation, Brookings Institute, ACCION Texas), and select private enterprises (San Antonio Spurs, Anthem, Rodeo Austin). Work is delivered through project-based consulting engagements on a quote-driven basis, with the firm employing 11-50 staff including economists, statisticians, and former municipal executives.

In May 2025, TXP acquired Newcastle-based software company Metatech Solutions with backing from private investment firm Aliter Capital, adding automated analytical capabilities and extending service offerings into the finance and healthcare verticals. TXP operates without disclosed proprietary software platforms or AI/ML capabilities, relying instead on the methodological expertise of its team, which includes affiliates of the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
