The Trump administration on Monday said it will restart SNAP food benefits. However, the payment amount will be cut substantially, and San Antonio residents may not see benefits return until early next week.
Newer figures from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) show only slight shifts. As of September 2025, Harris County still has by far the largest number of SNAP-eligible individuals, while Fort Bend, Galveston, and Brazoria have seen the steepest growth. Montgomery County is the only major Houston-area county showing a decline.
The calls to the Republican governor came as the food stamp program was set to run out of funding amid the government shutdown.
