TEXAS · ADA TITLE II · WCAG 2.1 AA
ADA Title II website accessibility for Texas special districts, cities and towns.
The Department of Justice now requires every state and local government website in Texas to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We audit your site, fix the problems, and hand your board the documentation. One flat fee, delivered remotely, on your schedule.
No obligation. We run an automated scan of your site’s main pages and send the findings, whether you hire us or not.
Who the rule covers in Texas
The DOJ rule applies to every public entity, with no minimum population or budget. In Texas that includes:
- municipal utility districts (MUDs)
- emergency services districts (ESDs)
- water districts
- cities and towns
- counties
- independent school districts
- hospital districts
- library districts
If residents pay a bill, submit a form, read an agenda or download a notice on your website, the rule applies to you, including any third-party portals you link to.
Municipal utility districts, emergency services districts, water control and improvement districts, hospital districts, groundwater conservation districts and more, from the Comptroller's Special Purpose District database, using the automated portion of our audit toolkit.
Images without alt text, unlabeled form fields, and links a screen reader cannot announce were the most common findings. Nearly all of it is routine to fix.
The statement is a one-page fix and the first thing reviewers look for. Most Texas districts we scanned do not have one yet.

Your Texas deadline
The federal rule sets two dates, based on the population you serve. The DOJ has stated it anticipates enforcing the rule at these dates. The underlying ADA obligation exists today; residents can bring accessibility complaints now.
Some states add their own accessibility requirements on top of the federal rule. The federal standard is the floor everywhere, and it is what we audit against.
