AUSTIN, Texas — As the Trump administration works on creating investment accounts for children , Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wants the Lone Star State to get involved.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that Michael and Susan Dell pledged over $6 billion to the so-called "Trump Accounts." The U.S. Treasury will deposit $1,000 into investment accounts for children born between Jan. 1 of this year and Dec. 31, 2026.

The Dells' gift will add an additional $250 to the account.

Kids will be eligible based on the median income of the ZIP code they live in.

On Wednesday, Patrick applauded the Trump Accounts and the Dells and said adding to this will be one of his top priorities when Texas lawmakers meet again in 2027. He's calling his plan the "New Little Texans Savings Fund."
