What's New for 2026?

Healthier Texas is excited to launch a new and improved Community Challenge, designed to make building healthier habits more engaging, supportive, and fun.

The Challenge runs February 2 – March 29 and brings Texans together to move more, connect more, and stay motivated through shared goals and community encouragement.

This year’s Community Challenge includes:

  • A new, easy-to-use app that will be free for Texans all year long

  • Bonus challenges and partner challenges to keep things fresh and motivating

  • Built-in tools that offer guidance, reminders, and support, like having motivation right in your pocket

  • An experience thoughtfully designed to be welcoming and accessible for our Spanish-speaking community

We love the timing. February is when motivation often dips, and this Challenge is a chance to reset, refocus, and build momentum together.

The app is now available!
