Served by Compudopt distribution events, Human-I-T (35+ state coverage), and a large WIOA workforce network through the Texas Workforce Commission's 28 local boards.
General Eligibility & How to Apply
The organizations and programs operating in Texas generally share similar qualification criteria. To access a free or low-cost device, you will typically need to prove you meet one of the following requirements:
- Income-Based: Household income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
- Assistance-Based: Participation in programs like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, or the Free/Reduced-Price School Lunch Program.
Note: If you need immediate, short-term computer access, your local Texas public library branch is often the fastest solution. Many offer laptop lending programs with just a valid library card.
