We are committed to making our Web
site accessible to all users. To make the site more accessible, we include
several features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities.
Some of these features are described below. A descriptive text equivalent is
provided for images and other non-text elements, aiding users who listen to the
content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site.
Major reports and other special publications that are made available on the Web
site are generally available in html or other accessible format. When publishing
a document in Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf), we will also post an
accessible version or a link for simple conversion to html. We are committed
to making its Web site accessible according to the standards set forth by the
World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C). To improve the accessibility of our Web site, we test any major redesign
with several screen readers and other Web tools. The results of these reviews
are incorporated into the Web site. We use various tools for site validation,
including
Bobby and W3C, and it is our goal to achieve the highest level of
accessibility attainable. We welcome comments on how to improve the site's
accessibility for users with disabilities. 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 us.
To enable us to respond in a manner most helpful to you, please indicate the
nature of your accessibility problem, the preferred format in which to receive
the material, the Web address of the requested material and your contact
information. Additional information about accessibility programs in Texas is
available from the
Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities. |
