Texas names most project areas by region or county code, so areas are only shown where the file names one. Provisional awards can change as the state finalizes agreements.
What it means for contractors
Fiber locations are the ones that turn into construction: underground and aerial placement, boring, splicing, drops, and restoration. The providers that won these areas build them, often with subcontractors. Check the Texas broadband office's BEAD page for the providers selected in each area. Those providers, and the primes they hire, are who to call about sub work.
