Caption: Texas accessibility legislation addresses both physical and electronic barriers.

As a state employee, you are required by law to ensure that any electronic information or technology resources you create or purchase will provide full access to agency information and services for your co-workers and members of the public.

Under state law, all people have the right to equal access to information and services.

Note: These requirements are described in Texas Government Code Chapter 2054, Subchapter M and Title 1 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapters 206B and 213B. These requirements apply to state agencies and state institutions of higher education.
