Governor Abbott Delivers Remarks At Texas Instruments’ New Semiconductor Facility Ribbon Cutting | Office of the Texas Governor
Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott today delivered remarks and participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of Texas Instruments’ (TI) new 300 mm semiconductor wafer fabrication facility in Sherman. TI’s new semiconductor facility will be home to cutting edge technology, employing thousands of Texans with an expected capital investment of $40 billion over the coming decades.
“Semiconductors are essential to building the space and artificial intelligence infrastructure that will define our future,” said Governor Abbott. “Today’s announcement by Texas Instruments helps Texas to expand our No. 1 ranking and helps lead the semiconductor manufacturing boom we have here in Texas. With help from Texas Instruments, Texas will remain the home for cutting edge semiconductor manufacturing and the home of more job opportunities than any other state in the United States of America.”
The Governor was joined by TI president and CEO Haviv Ilan, Senator Brent Hagenbuch, Reprehensive Shelley Luther, Sherman Mayor Shawn Teamann, and other state and local officials.
Texas Instruments, headquartered in Dallas, is the birthplace of the world’s first commercial silicon transistor in 1954, followed by Jack Kilby’s invention of the integrated circuit in 1958. Together, TI and Texas have formed the foundation of modern technology.
At the ribbon cutting ceremony, Governor Abbott thanked TI for selecting Texas as the location for this advanced 300mm fab, highlighting the fact that Texas is leading the nation in semiconductor manufacturing capacity and is the No. 1 state for semiconductors. The Governor noted that the future is forged by microchips and Texas will lead the way in bringing the world into the next century. The new semiconductor wafer fabrication plant will fuel the Texas economy and advance the state’s semiconductor leadership.
Additional photos of the event will be provided here when available.
Headquartered in Dallas, TI is a global semiconductor company that designs, manufactures, and sells analog and embedded processing chips for markets such as industrial, automotive, personal electronics, enterprise systems, and communications equipment. A Fortune 500 company and one of the top 10 semiconductor companies worldwide, at its core, TI has a passion to create a better world by making electronics more affordable through semiconductors.

Hawaiian and Alaska airlines, Par Hawaii and Pono Energy partner to advance the Hawai‘i-based market, supply chain for sustainable aviation fuel production
Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines today announced it has joined Par Hawaii to invest in pioneering the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Hawaiʻi using locally grown agriculture feedstock to reduce aviation carbon emissions.
This initiative will enable SAF production for more sustainable future flying and deliver economic benefits through the creation of a new energy sector and fuel supply chain in Hawai’i, while bringing new opportunities for local agriculture.
Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines, which together provide the most flights to, from and within Hawai‘i, and Par Hawaii, the largest producer of energy products in the islands, are partnering with Pono Pacific, through its Pono Energy, Inc. subsidiary, to study Camelina sativa (camelina) as a multi-purpose crop that can be used as SAF feedstock and to support agriculture.
