Texas Instruments plans to spend $60B+ on US chip plants, including two new factories in Sherman, Texas, and says its long-term spending plan remains unchanged

Context & Ripple Effects
This is the latest step in a multiyear Sherman buildout: Texas Instruments had previously outlined plans for as many as four Texas wafer fabs, and later received federal grants and loans for facilities in Texas and Utah. The company now puts the US plant program above $60 billion while stressing that its long-term capital plan has not changed.
The announcement also lands amid a broader Texas manufacturing push, including Samsung's planned expansion in Taylor. Its significance is less a newly disclosed increase in spending than added specificity around where Texas Instruments expects to deploy an already-planned, long-duration capital program.
First-order effects
Texas Instruments is committing two additional Sherman factories within its stated US plant program, concentrating more of its manufacturing buildout in Texas.
By saying the long-term capital-spending plan is unchanged, the company signals that the $60 billion-plus figure reflects execution of its existing roadmap rather than a newly announced capex expansion.
Second-order effects
Construction and equipment spending tied to the Sherman sites should extend demand for the suppliers and contractors needed to bring new fabs online, while the pace of deployment remains tied to Texas Instruments' existing plan.
The buildout reinforces competitive pressure on other manufacturers pursuing Texas capacity, particularly as public support has already been directed toward Texas Instruments' facilities.
Third-order effects
If comparable projects proceed, US chip capacity will increasingly be shaped by long-cycle, geographically concentrated fab investments rather than short-term changes in annual demand.
The combination of company-led megaprojects and federal support points to a more durable industrial-policy role in semiconductor location decisions, though final capacity will depend on project execution and market conditions.
The trend: Semiconductor manufacturers are turning multiyear US capacity roadmaps into specific factory projects, with Texas emerging as a major focal point for that buildout.
