Why ADA compliance matters in Texas

🤠

Texas Has the Most Government Entities in the US

Texas has over 5,000 local government entities — more than any other state. Cities, counties, special districts, water authorities, and school districts all fall under ADA Title II. The scale of exposure is enormous.

🏫

TEA-Managed School Districts

The Texas Education Agency oversees 1,200+ school districts. Every K-12 public district is subject to ADA Title II. Enrollment portals, parent platforms, and district websites must all meet WCAG 2.1 AA.

🛢

Energy Sector Vendors with Government Contracts

Texas-based contractors supplying digital tools to municipalities or the state must deliver WCAG-compliant work. Section 508 compliance is a condition of many Texas government IT contracts.

🚌

METRO Houston and Dallas Area Rapid Transit

METRO and DART receive FTA funding and are subject to both ADA Title II and Section 508. Digital route planners, trip booking systems, and accessibility pages must all meet WCAG 2.1 AA.
