• No Texas statute or rule names a technical standard for a business's website or app under chapter 121; section 121.0041 treats Internet website accessibility guidelines, where another state or federal law requires them, as one of the technical standards an action under section 121.004(b) can allege were not met (Tex. Hum. Res. Code sec. 121.0041(b)).
• If you own or operate a retail business, commercial establishment, office building or other place of public accommodation to which the general public is invited, do not deny a person with a disability the full use and enjoyment of it, including by a ruse or subterfuge calculated to discourage the person from using it (Tex. Hum. Res. Code secs. 121.002(5) and 121.003(a) and (d)).
• Make reasonable accommodations in your policies, practices, and procedures, and provide the auxiliary aids and services necessary to allow the full use and enjoyment of the public facility (Tex. Hum. Res. Code sec. 121.003(d)(2) and (3)).
• If you receive a written notice, given at least 60 days before suit, that you failed to comply with an applicable technical standard such as Internet website accessibility guidelines, you may correct the alleged violation before the claimant may file, and must then send the claimant a notice describing each correction or explaining why none is needed (Tex. Hum. Res. Code sec. 121.0041(c) to (e)).

• Provide that information as URLs to the manufacturer's VPATs or ACRs for applicable commercial off-the-shelf products or services, or as other documents the buyer requests that give credible evidence of your capability or ability to produce accessible EIR, such as an internal accessibility policy, contractual warranties for accessibility, accessibility testing documents and examples of prior work (1 TAC secs. 213.18(a)(1) and (2) and 213.38(a)(1) and (2)).
• Where you cannot provide credible accessibility documentation, the EIR you sell is considered noncompliant (1 TAC secs. 213.18(a)(3) and 213.38(a)(3)).
• EIR you develop, procure or materially change for the buyer through a procured services contract, and EIR services you provide through hosted or managed services contracts, must comply with chapters 206 and 213 of title 1 of the Texas Administrative Code, as applicable, unless an exception or exemption is approved (1 TAC secs. 213.18(d) and 213.38(d)).
• If you develop electronic and information resources for a Texas state agency in a project whose costs exceed $500,000 and that takes a year or longer to reach operations, involves more than one state agency or institution of higher education, or substantially alters agency work methods or service delivery, expect the agency to have accessibility testing performed by a third-party testing resource or knowledgeable staff to validate compliance with 1 TAC section 206.50 and chapter 213; designs or technologies other than those prescribed are allowed where they give substantially equivalent or greater access (1 TAC secs. 213.18(f) and (g) and 213.38(g)).
