Who qualifies for NTTN assistance?

  • In 2023, NTTN started with the goal of serving the 19 counties comprising “North Texas” as identified by the Texas Comptroller: See a map of counties.

    Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Erath, Fannin, Grayson, Hood, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro, Palo Pinto, Parker, Rockwall, Somervell, Tarrant, and Wise

    In September 2025, NTTN, through careful data analysis, decided to expand its service area to also include counties surrounding the original 19:

    Anderson, Bosque, Cherokee, Clay, Comanche, Delta, Eastland, Freestone, Gregg, Hamilton, Henderson, Hill, Hopkins, Jack, Lamar, Limestone, McLennan, Montague, Rains, Rusk, Smith, Stephens, Upshur, Van Zandt, Wood, and Young

    In April 2026, NTTN decided to further expand into West Texas, covering all of Northern Texas. These counties include:

    Andrews, Archer, Armstrong, Bailey, Baylor, Borden, Bowie, Briscoe, Brown, Callahan, Camp, Carson, Cass, Castro, Childress, Cochran, Coke, Coleman, Collingsworth, Cottle, Crosby, Dallam, Dawson, Deaf Smith, Dickens, Donley, Ector, Floyd, Foard, Franklin, Frisher, Gaines, Garza, Glasscock, Hale, Hall, Hansford, Hardeman, Harrison, Hartley, Haskell, Hemphill, Hockley, Howard, Hutchison, Jones, Kent, King, Knox, Lamb, Lipscomb, Lubbock, Lynn, Marion, Martin, Midland, Mills, Mitchell, Moore, Morris, Motley, Nacogdoches, Nolan, Ochiltree, Oldham, Panola, Parmer, Potter, Randall, Red River, Roberts, Runnels, Scurry, Shackleford, Shelby, Sherman, Sterling, Stonewall, Swisher, Taylor, Terry, Throckmorton, Titus, Wheeler, Wichita, Wilbarger, Winkler, and Yoakum.

    This expansion allows NTTN to serve 133 counties, representing 40% of Texas's population.
