Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Texas

The Department of Homeland Security shows $48,006,094,189.63 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Texas, across 6,722 awards. Awarding-agency 070 and Texas (TX) are the join keys. A border-state tag is not a finding about enforcement intensity, and disaster headlines are not a packet field. The dollars are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • DHS in Texas: $48,006,094,189.63 across 6,722 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $7.14 million per record.
  • Agency 070 × TX is not a border score and does not name components.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

DHS awards inside the Texas extract

Filter to Department of Homeland Security. Filter to Texas place-of-performance. Six thousand seven hundred twenty-two records remain, summing to $48,006,094,189.63. A DHS award coded to New Mexico is out. A Defense award coded to Texas is out even when the mission sounds adjacent.

The implied mean is about $7.14 million per award. Components, grants to states and localities, and large acquisition vehicles can share that average. This packet does not split the 6,722 rows by component.

Department of Homeland Security in Texas is the overlay. Texas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other pairs. Six thousand seven hundred twenty-two DHS records in Texas sit between a thin Energy file and a thick USDA file. $48,006,094,189.63 is the obligation sum for agency 070 inside TX coding. Department of Homeland Security in Texas does not split CBP from FEMA from Coast Guard.

Border and disaster stories without packet support

Miles of border, migrant-encounter counts, and hurricane-loss totals are not in this extract. $48,006,094,189.63 does not measure those series. It sums award obligations with a 070 awarding-agency code and a TX tag.

FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, and other components are unnamed here. Do not assign the 6,722 awards to a single component. Do not treat the dollar column as a score of “how much Texas is secured.” Texas did not cause the cell by sharing a border. Geography plus agency code is the join. Causation is not a field. Border miles and encounter counts are not packet facts. Linking $48,006,094,189.63 to those series is a new dataset. Texas federal spending still includes USDA’s 428,412-row cell and every other awarding agency. This join stays 070.

Obligations on grants and acquisitions

Preparedness grants and capital vehicles often obligate ahead of outlays. $48,006,094,189.63 is the commitment sum on the 6,722 awards. Citing it as cash already spent in Texas confuses obligations with Treasury payments.

Austin’s budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with USAspending.gov leaves this series. Texas DHS’s 6,722 records sit beside a much thicker USDA-Texas file and a thinner Treasury-Texas file. Those comparisons are parallel joins, not a security ranking. $48,006,094,189.63 is agency 070 only. Department of Homeland Security in Texas does not split components. Border-mile series are not in the packet.

Statewide Texas, not a sector map

This packet does not split $48,006,094,189.63 among ports, land border, or Gulf. 6,722 awards stay statewide. A sector table would be a different extract.

Department of Homeland Security is the 070 hub without a Texas filter. Use it for the agency book. Recheck 6,722 and $48,006,094,189.63 on Department of Homeland Security in Texas when the extract moves. Component shares remain unpublished. Do not borrow a border-sector map to split a statewide tag.

Citing DHS in Texas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (070) obligated $48,006,094,189.63 on 6,722 awards coded to Texas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as a disaster-loss figure.

Quote Department of Homeland Security in Texas if the overlay moved. Do not relabel $48,006,094,189.63 as a wall figure or a disaster-loss figure. Texas federal spending is the all-agency parent. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent. All spending ties lists other pairs. Prefer the overlay after ingests. Keep the obligation word. The implied mean near $7.14 million is dollars divided by 6,722 records, not a typical grant size for every row.

Reusing the Texas DHS integers

Keep Department of Homeland Security, Texas, $48,006,094,189.63, and 6,722 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without a Texas filter.

Do not call the total a border-wall figure or a disaster-loss figure. Do not per-capita $48,006,094,189.63. Population is unpublished. Do not treat 6,722 as unique vendors. Refresh from Department of Homeland Security in Texas after ingests. Keep the obligation label. USAspending.gov is the source.
