Texas Agricultural Producers Assistance Act

This bill tells the U.S. Department of Agriculture to write a report for Congress about what help is available for Texas farmers who lost money because Mexico did not deliver promised water under a 1944 treaty. The report must list all current USDA programs and powers that already exist or could be used to help these farmers. It does not create new aid by itself; it gathers and explains what options are already on the table. The report is due within 180 days after the bill becomes law.

In plain terms, this is a fact-finding step. It aims to make it easier for Texas growers to see what help they can get now, and to guide possible next steps if more support is needed.

• Who is affected: Agricultural producers in Texas hurt by Mexico’s missed water deliveries under the 1944 treaty.
• What changes: USDA must compile and submit a full list of existing assistance options; no new programs or funding are created by this bill.
• When: The report is due 180 days after the bill becomes law.
