Washington, D.C. —Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) announced Texas will receive $124,527,356 in energy revenues from offshore oil and gas production, including $4,616,226.05 for the 34th Congressional District of Texas. This funding, distributed by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Fiscal Year 2026 energy reserves under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) of 2006, will allocate $1,418,081.58 to Cameron County, $1,392,635.96 to Kenedy County, $1,001,238.68 to Kleberg County, and $804,270.56 to Willacy County to support coastal conservation and restoration, hurricane protection programs, infrastructure projects, and more.
“America thrives when domestic energy leaders meet market demands, powering our economy while supporting critical investments in coastal resilience through GOMESA funding,” said Congressman Gonzalez. “South Texas plays a vital role in advancing our country’s energy security, and these funds ensure our region directly benefits from the energy operations it supports. By reinvesting in Cameron, Kenedy, Kleberg and Willacy Counties, we are strengthening long-term resilience through hurricane preparedness, environmental conservation, and improvements to marine and coastal infrastructure.”
GOMESA of 2006 established a revenue-sharing framework that directs a portion of offshore oil and gas revenues to Gulf-producing states through the Department of Interior. The Act also directs a percentage of the revenue to the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
