Our Services to
Texas Government Agencies
One of our many roles is as a state government entity that
must provide guidance and recommendations to uphold select
legislative mandates. We provide many services to support
this function, ranging from records management training and
document imaging services, to making available state print
and electronic publications. We also make available reference,
database and catalog services for state agencies.

this contract.
