Emergency Operations & Continuity Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Texas Legislature has no current Emergency Operations Plan or Continuity of Operations Plan, and documented hearings have confirmed statewide communication and coordination gaps. The absence of a mass notification system and Legislature-specific EMPG grants compounds operational risk during emergency events.
The opportunity
Legislative investigations and active compliance pressure make this an urgent priority, while the 2028–29 state appropriations cycle and allocated funding for regional emergency operations facilities create a near-term budget window. Addressing these gaps now strengthens institutional resilience and aligns with available technology infrastructure grant funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No mass notification system currently exists for the Legislature, leaving staff and constituents without a reliable alert channel during emergencies. Legislative hearings have documented statewide communication weaknesses, and the absence of an EOP/COOP elevates both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active state appropriations aligned to public safety and emergency management create a near-term funding window for this project. Addressing this gap now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens continuity of government operations, and positions the Legislature ahead of increasing legislative scrutiny on emergency preparedness.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Statewide cybersecurity initiatives, including the Texas Cyber Command, reflect significant allocated funding and active compliance mandates—yet endpoint and identity management gaps remain. An existing password management tool signals recognized need, but a fragmented approach elevates credential-based risk across centralized IT infrastructure.
The opportunity
The active 2028–29 appropriations cycle and the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) create a well-defined funding window. Advancing endpoint and identity controls now aligns with compliance mandates, reduces breach exposure, and leverages cooperative procurement vehicles such as Texas DIR for streamlined acquisition.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline has passed, creating immediate legal and operational exposure for public-facing digital services. A funded website modernization initiative is active, signaling recognized need and allocated budget for remediation.
The opportunity
The passed compliance deadline demands near-term action to reduce legal risk and ensure equitable public access to digital services. The active 2028–29 appropriations cycle and funded modernization initiative create a strong window to advance remediation with existing budget authority.
Texas DIR
Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Technology & Accountability Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Legislature's fleet operations currently lack safety technology and formal record-keeping practices, creating an unaddressed accountability gap. While no incidents are documented, the absence of foundational fleet management infrastructure presents measurable operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
The active state appropriations cycle has produced notable increases in transportation funding, signaling a viable window to address this gap. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden for legislative operations staff.
