Electric bill help in Texas

Start with the utility, then check LIHEAP, weatherization assistance, and local hardship programs.

Program rules vary by state and household. This page is informational and does not collect personal information.

Four steps to try first

  1. Call the utility before a disconnection notice becomes urgent.
  2. Ask about payment arrangements, budget billing, and hardship protections.
  3. Check LIHEAP through your state energy or human services office.
  4. Gather ID, income proof, account number, and a recent bill before applying.
