KeepTXRed summary

HB 3336 was a House-passed proposal for an alcoholic-beverage tax credit tied to donations of spent grain byproducts for agricultural use. It advanced through a Senate committee but did not receive final Senate passage.

What would change

The proposal would have allowed eligible liquor and malt-beverage taxpayers to claim a credit of eight cents per dry-weight pound of spent grain donated for uses such as animal feed or compost within 100 miles of the production location, capped at the lesser of $30,000 per fiscal year or the taxpayer's covered alcoholic-beverage taxes paid.

Who may be affected

Breweries, distilleries and other eligible alcoholic-beverage taxpayers, farmers and ranchers receiving spent grain, compost operations, TABC, and state revenue administrators.

When it would take effect

HB 3336 did not take effect. The House passed it and the Senate State Affairs Committee reported it favorably, but the full Senate did not give final passage before adjournment. The proposal specified September 1, 2025 as its effective date.

Limits and uncertainty

No spent-grain tax credit was created through HB 3336. The Legislative Budget Board estimated a recurring state revenue loss for the proposal, but that estimate did not become an enacted fiscal obligation.
