In the state of Texas, the timber industry continues to expand its economic impact. Continued contributions in homebuilding activity and production alongside new developments of forest management innovate the industry. Coupled with the usage of mass timber in place of concrete or steel, reinvestments and mill expansions surge confidence within Texas’ timber industry while housing markets slow down nationally. Facing such a shift, the state has adapted and continues to be a dominant force in residential construction by tapping into increasingly appealing markets such as energy-efficient homes and multifamily buildings, keeping Texas timber competitive as the industry navigates unpredictable changes in direction.
