How to Search TRAIL

Searching TRAIL is as easy as searching with a commercial search engine but as exact as searching a library catalog.

Searches for specific agency publications allows you to be specific in looking for information. All state electronic publications have been "cataloged" so that you can search by agency name, title of the publication, assigned subjects, and keywords. Search results can include various file types. See our resources on working with publication file types for assistance.

More information on searching agency publications is available on the TRAIL agency publication search help screen.

In addition to publication searches, the agency information pages in TRAIL provide information on contacting agencies, links to budget, historical and constitutional authority information for the agencies, and a link to the agency's main web site.

You can also navigate using subject and publication guides to Texas state agency information. This is a powerful way to pull together similar documents from many different agencies.
