Texans affected by last month’s Spring Branch apartment fire on Teague Road can now apply for federal disaster assistance.
Governor Greg Abbott announced today U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) approved his request for a disaster declaration. This means qualifying homeowners, renters and business owners can apply for low-interest loans to help repair and rebuild.
