Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A federal ADA Title II mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across all public-facing web properties by April 26, 2027. Existing accessibility tooling is aging, and gaps in digital content compliance elevate legal, reputational, and equity risks for constituents relying on accessible government services.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a defined implementation window aligned with the active state budget cycle and HB 5195 website modernization priorities. Acting now allows the Office to leverage cooperative procurement vehicles and pursue a compliant, constituent-centered digital experience ahead of enforcement.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The establishment of the Texas Cyber Command and a new state-level cybersecurity grant program signal formal mandates to strengthen security posture, yet the current environment reflects a fragmented toolset with consolidation gaps in endpoint management and privileged credential security. Active compliance requirements—including cybersecurity training mandates and medical device security reviews—elevate operational and regulatory risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program and FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program provide named, accessible funding paths aligned to this initiative. With over $450K in annual IT software spend and a $34M public safety tech allocation, financial capacity is strong—and current fiscal-year planning creates an actionable window to reduce fragmentation, meet compliance mandates, and harden credential security before risk exposure grows.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented communications interoperability failures during past flood responses and the absence of a formal agency-level Emergency Operations Plan expose the Office to significant operational and public safety risk. Radio infrastructure gaps and uncoordinated hazard mitigation efforts compound the need for structured planning and cross-agency coordination.
The opportunity
The active state budget cycle and a $34M public safety technology allocation signal strong funding availability, and the PROTECT grant is directly aligned to this initiative. Formalizing interoperability protocols and an agency EOP now reduces response risk, supports compliance, and positions the Office ahead of the next severe weather season.
