Accessibility Policy

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commision is committed to making its web site accessible to all users and we have included several features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. Some of these features are described below.

Images on the site contain 'alt tags' with descriptions of the image, which aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site. Text transcripts can be provided with any audio clips of speeches and remarks upon request.

To improve the accessibility of our web site we test any major redesign with several web page validation tools including World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) tools. We code for W3C level 1 standards. We code using HTML 4.0 web standards. We test our pages using several different browsers. The results of these reviews have been incorporated into the web site. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission welcomes comments on how to improve the site's accessibility for users with disabilities.

One link is to the PDF file and the second is to a copy of document in another format, usually Microsoft Word or Excel.
