Web Site Accessibility Policy

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is committed to making its Web site accessible to all users.

We have included features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. The following are some examples of these features.

  • Images on the site contain element attributes that provide descriptions of the images that aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader rather than reading the site.
  • A “skip to” link provides users with a method for bypassing the header and main navigation links and going directly to the main content of that page each time it is accessed.
  • Most agency publications, job postings, and many forms on our Web site are provided in Portable Document Format (PDF). We provide instructions on our Using Adobe Acrobat PDF page to assist visually disabled users in converting the PDF files into HTML using a free Adobe tool. This PDF tool enables the PDF files to be read by a screen reader.

    We are in the process of upgrading our PDF files to ensure they can be converted using this tool. Please contact us using the contact information provided below if you need a PDF file provided in an alternate format.

The TCEQ is committed to making its Web site compliant with Conformance Level A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Exit TCEQ accessibility rating.

Currently, all new and significantly modified Web pages intended for publication on our Web site are reviewed for accessibility. The agency is planning to incorporate the use of tools that aid in the development and review of accessible Web pages.

For assistance:

If you use assistive technology and the format of any material on our Web site interferes with your ability to access the information, please e-mail the TCEQ Web Accessibility Coordinator at webmast@tceq.state.tx.us or call 512-239-0028. For assistance in contacting us using Relay Texas, visit the Relay Texas Web site Exit TCEQ for more information.

When you contact us, please indicate the nature of your accessibility problem, the format in which you prefer to receive the material, the Web address of the requested material, and your contact information. This information will enable us to respond in a manner most helpful to you.
