Request for Applications (RFA) for the Support Adoption Grant Program

The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is soliciting applications for projects that support the Support Adoption Grant Program. The purpose of the OAG Support Adoption Grant Program is to provide funds, using a competitive allocation method, as described in Chapter 402 of the Government Code.

Applicable Funding Source for Support Adoption Grant Program:

The Support Adoption Grant Program receives funding from a separate trust fund established by the Comptroller of Public Accounts outside the general revenue fund that the OAG is authorized to administer to make grants to an eligible organization. The Support Adoption account is authorized by Chapter 504.662 of the Transportation Code, and Chapter 402.036 of the Government Code, and is funded by fees collected for the purchase of a Support Adoption License Plate, as well as gifts, grants, donations and legislative appropriations. All funding is contingent upon an appropriation to the OAG by the Texas Legislature. The OAG makes no commitment that an Application, once submitted, or a grant, once funded, will receive subsequent funding.

Eligibility Requirements:

An Applicant Organization must be a Non-Profit, as well as either an 1) adoption agency, 2) as defined by Family Code Section 162.402; an authorized agency, as defined by Family Code Section 162.402; or 3) be an eligible organization, as defined by Government Code Section 402.036(g)(1), to apply for the Support Adoption Grant Program. Non-profit Applicants with 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3) status must be in good standing with the Comptroller of Public Accounts and "in existence" with the Secretary of State.

- An adoption agency is a person, other than a natural parent or guardian of a child, who plans for the placement of or places a child in the home of a prospective adoptive parent. See Texas Family Code section 162.402(4).

- An authorized agency is a public agency authorized to care for or to place children for adoption or a private entity approved for that purpose by the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) through a license, certification, or other means. The term includes a licensed child-placing agency or a previously licensed child-placing agency that has ceased operations and has transferred its adoption records to the vital statistics unit or an agency authorized by the DFPS to place children for adoption and a licensed child-placing agency that has been acquired by, merged with, or otherwise succeeded by an agency authorized by the DFPS to place children for adoption. See Texas Family Code section 162.402(7).

- Other eligible organizations must meet all of the following requirements:

-- An organization that provides services in this state and is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a), Internal Revenue Code of 1986, by being listed as an exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of that code;

How to Obtain Application Kit: The OAG will post the Application Kit on the OAG's website at https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/divisions/grants.

If a request is received from an individual (not representing an organization) or an agency which is not a Non-Profit, the requester will receive notice that they did not meet the criteria to receive a grant application.

Application Deadline: The Applicant must submit its application, including all required attachments, to the OAG by the deadline established in the Application Kit.

Applications requesting an amount below the minimum will not be considered.

Start Date and Length of Grant Contract Period: The term of this grant contract is up to two years from November 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025, subject to and contingent on funding and approval by the OAG.

No Match or Volunteer Requirements: There are no match or volunteer requirements.

Award Criteria: The OAG will make funding decisions that support the efficient and effective use of public funds.

All grant decisions including, but not limited to, eligibility, evaluation and review, and funding rest completely within the discretionary authority of the OAG. The decisions made by the OAG are final and are not subject to appeal.

Grant Purpose Area: All grant projects must address one or more of the purpose areas as stated in the Application Kit.

Funding for Applications may be prioritized for pre-adoption counseling, post-adoption counseling and advertising relating to adoption. Applicants are encouraged to prioritize their needs and explain the reason for their funding request.

Prohibitions on Use of Support Adoption Grant Program Funds: OAG grant funds may not be used to support activities related to providing abortions or abortion-related services, or making referrals to abortion providers. OAG grant funds may not be used to support or pay the costs of equipment, overtime, out-of-state travel, dues, or lobbying; any portion of the salary or any other compensation for an elected government official; the purchase or lease of vehicles; the purchase of promotional items or recreational activities; costs of travel that are unrelated to the direct delivery of services that support the OAG grant-funded program; the costs for consultants or vendors who participate directly in writing a grant application; or for any unallowable costs set forth in applicable state or federal law, rules, regulations, guidelines, policies, procedures or cost principles.

Notice issued July 19, 2023

TCEQ Internal Control No. D-06192023-037; Nine Hidden Lake, LTD., a Texas limited partnership, and Parsons Green, LTD., a Texas limited partnership (collectively, the "Petitioners") filed a petition for the creation of Hidden Lakes Municipal Utility District No. 1 (District) with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The petition was filed pursuant to Article XVI, § 59 of the Constitution of the State of Texas; Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code; 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 293; and the procedural rules of the TCEQ. The petition states that: (1) the Petitioner holds title to a majority in value of the land to be included in the proposed District; (2) there are no lienholders on the property to be included in the proposed District; (3) the proposed District will contain approximately 403.651 acres of land located within Travis County, Texas; and (4) all of the land within the proposed district is located wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Austin (City). The petition further states that the work to be done by the District at the present time is: (i) the construction of a water distribution system for domestic purposes; (ii) the construction of a sanitary sewer system; (iii) the control, abatement and amendment of the harmful excess of waters and the reclamation and drainage of overflowed lands within the District; (iv) the construction and financing of macadamized, graveled, or paved roads, or improvements in aid of those roads; and (v) such other construction, installation, maintenance, purchase and operation of such additional facilities, systems, plants and enterprises as shall be consistent with the purposes for which the District is organized, all to the extent authorized by law from time to time. It is specifically proposed that the District be granted the authority to design, acquire, construct, finance, issue bonds for, operate, maintain, and convey to this state, a county, or a municipality for operation and maintenance, a road, or any improvement in aid of the road, pursuant to Texas Water Code, Section 54.234. According to the petition, a preliminary investigation has been made to determine the cost of the project, and it is estimated by the Petitioners that the cost of said project will be approximately $76,525,500. The financial analysis in the application was based on an estimated $52,685,000 ($20,950,000 for water, wastewater, and drainage plus $21,260,000 for roads and $10,475,000 for recreational facilities) at the time of submittal. In accordance with Local Government Code § 42.042 and Texas Water Code § 54.016, a petition was submitted to the City, requesting the City's consent to the creation of the District. After more than 90 days passed without receiving consent, a petition was submitted to the City to provide water and sewer services to the District. The 120-day period for reaching a mutually agreeable contract as established by the Texas Water Code § 54.016(c) expired and information provided indicates that the Petitioner and the City have not executed a mutually agreeable contract for service. Pursuant to Texas Water Code § 54.016(d), failure to execute such an agreement constitutes authorization for the Petitioner to proceed to the TCEQ for inclusion of their Property into the District.

Notice and Opportunity to Comment on Requests for Consistency Agreement/Concurrence Under the Texas Coastal Management Program

On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439 - 1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of July 15, 2023 to July 21, 2023. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.20(f), 30.30(h), and 30.40(e), the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, July 28, 2023. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 27, 2023.

FEDERAL AGENCY ACTIVITIES:

Applicant: Department of the Navy

Location: The project site is located at the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.

Project Description: The Navy proposes to replace the existing T-44C Pegasus aircraft with the new T-54A aircraft for the multi-engine maritime flight training program. The T-44C fleet is nearing the end of its service life and requires upgrades to address existing training capability gaps. New aircraft would provide the latest technology and would promote public health and safety. The replacement of aircraft will also require demolition, construction, and renovation of Navy support facilities and infrastructure at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.

Type of Application: Department of the Navy's webpage for the Environmental Assessment for the T-54 Multi-Engine Training System at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.

CMP Project No: 23-1251-F2

FEDERAL AGENCY ACTIONS:

Applicant: Passport Shores, LLC

Location: The project site is located on a 55.81-acre tract of land located in Landblock 244, Burton & Danforth Subdivision adjacent to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), on the east side of State Highway 35 (Bus) and north of Palm Harbor Subdivision, approximately 3 miles north of Aransas Pass, in Aransas County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 27.9722, -97.0899

Project Description: The applicant proposes to amend the footprint for a previously authorized project for a waterfront residential development as depicted on the attached plans (figures 1-3). The revised project would eliminate the previously authorized access channel and residential canals and place clean fill material within approximately 28 acres of the site. Overall, the proposed fill area is composed of 19.11 acres of upland, 7.48 acres of salt marsh, and 1.41 acres of salt flats, which would require 13,665 cubic yards of fill in jurisdictional area. No work has been initiated at the project site at this time.

The applicant has stated that they have avoided and minimized the environmental impacts by eliminating the access channel and residential canals. Aquatic resources have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable, the current project design would reduce impacts to Waters of the US by approximately 1.2 acres, no activity is proposed below the mean high-water line of the adjacent waterbody, and therefore, the amendment would remove all impacts to submerged aquatic vegetation. Additionally, the permittee would complete permittee responsible mitigation consistent with the existing permit authorization including preserving in perpetuity the on-site aquatic habitats that will not be impacted by this project.

The existing mitigation plan would remain unchanged. The plan provides in-kind creation of 6.48 acres of salt marsh on-site, and 2.55 acres created off-site. In total, the applicant proposes to create 9.03 acres of salt marsh to compensate for the unavoidable impacts to this habitat. The mitigation area will employ a deed restriction to preserve 24.25 acres of salt marsh habitat in perpetuity. The plan also provides creation of 0.86 acre of salt flat habitat and preservation of an additional 4.03 acres of salt flat habitat in perpetuity.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2003-01965. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 23-1283-F1

Applicant: City of League City

Location: The project site is located in Magnolia Creek and Cedar Gully, at west of Interstate 45 and south of Main Street, in League City, Galveston County, Texas.

Latitude and Longitude: 29.478651, -95.148884

Project Description: The applicant proposes to discharge a total of approximately 342 cubic yards of concrete into a total of 3,668 linear feet of streams (1.07 acres), and 0.2 acre of open water at 56 separate locations along the banks of Magnolia Creek and Cedar Gully. This project proposes spot repairs to correct erosion conditions, intermittent shoreline repairs, bank stabilization, slope paving in spots, and to replace culverts that are not functioning correctly. Bank stabilization will be required for the culvert replacement locations. The purpose of the project is to return Magnolia Creek and Cedar Gully to their intended function. Outfalls along the channels will be removed and replaced with HDPE pipe to adhere to City standards, in some cases improving velocity and slope. This modified approach allows for the current shape of the Magnolia Creek to only be disturbed at the most pertinent areas. The re-design of the project will result in only temporary impacts to install erosion protection and/or bank stabilization measures and will not result in a net loss of waters of the United States.

The applicant has stated that they have avoided and minimized the environmental impacts by avoiding impacts to 8,471 linear feet (1.83 acres) of streams, 11.75 acres of emergent wetlands, and 21.45 acres of open water features. The applicant has stated that the project will restore the original flow regime within Magnolia Creek and Cedar Gully. The applicant has provided an assessment of the affected stream reaches that demonstrate that this project will have no change in the condition of the affected streams. Therefore, no additional compensatory mitigation has been proposed for this project.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2022-00077. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

CMP Project No: 23-1312-F1

Applicant: Cameron County

Location: The project site is located along approximately 500 feet of shoreline in the Laguna Madre, within Isla Blanca County Park, at 33174 State Park Road 100, in South Padre Island, Cameron County, Texas 78597.

Latitude and Longitude: 26.96794, -97.16263

Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct a shoreline restoration project that involves the following improvements: (1) construction of two native fill templates each measuring approximately 250-foot long, (2) construction of one offshore breakwater measuring 200-foot-long by 80-foot-wide, (3) construction of two shore-attached groins, each approximately 140-foot-long by 80-foot-wide, and (4) construction of two scour protection areas located within gaps between the offshore breakwater and shore-attached groins measuring 100-foot-long by 80-foot-wide, each. Suitable fill material to construct the fill templates would be obtained from the excavation of the Scour Protection Areas, placed at the Native Fill Material Beneficial Placement Areas shown in the attached drawings on six sheets. If the material is not beach quality, it would be hauled off site, and native fill material from approved sand sources located at Isla Blanca County Park or riverine sand from the Olmito Sand Pit may be utilized. The proposed offshore breakwater and groin structures would be constructed using either armor and bedding stone, or an alternative material type/units composed of concrete, steel, mesh, geogrid, geotextile, stone, piles, chains, anchors, oyster shell, or similar. Scour protection installation would include excavation and fill consisting of marine mattress material as a means to prevent scour within the gaps of the structures.

The stated purpose of the project is to protect the shoreline from erosional forces caused by daily wave action, storm-related events and ship wakes from vessels traversing through the Brazos Santiago Pass by utilizing a combination of non-structural (native fill) and structural (breakwater, groins, scour protection) methods.

The applicant has stated that they have avoided and minimized the environmental impacts by avoiding impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and special aquatic sites, including seagrass and oysters. Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as silt curtains and silt fencing would be utilized during excavation and placement of native fill material, placement of material for constructing the offshore breakwater and two shore-attached groins, and placement of scour protection material to minimize impact to adjacent wetlands and special aquatic sites. Immediately before construction, a seagrass survey would be performed by the applicant and final adjustments to the positions of the proposed breakwater and groins would be made to ensure complete avoidance of all existing seagrasses. No mitigation is being proposed since there would be no permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands or aquatic resources (seagrass, oysters, mangroves). The project footprint would only encompass current areas of unvegetated bay bottom.

Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2023-00264. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

Any rights to a prize that is not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each Scratch Ticket, shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of Scratch Tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of Scratch Tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales and number of prizes claimed. A Scratch Ticket Game may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.

3.0 Scratch Ticket Ownership.

When a signature is placed on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the Scratch Ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the Scratch Ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

5.0 End of the Scratch Ticket Game. The Executive Director may, at any time, announce a closing date (end date) for the Scratch Ticket Game No. 2525 without advance notice, at which point no further Scratch Tickets in that game may be sold. The determination of the closing date and reasons for closing will be made in accordance with the Scratch Ticket closing procedures and the Scratch Ticket Game Rules. See 16 TAC §401.302(j).
