ADA
The Governor's Committee evaluates compliance with and facilitates implementation of the ADA, Texas Accessibility Standards (http://www.license.state.tx.us/ab/tas/abtas.htm) and other state and federal disability rights laws. (http://www.ada.gov/)
Public entities with fifty or more employees must designate a person to handle ADA concerns, often called the ADA Coordinator. The Governor's Committee compiles contact information for Texas ADA Coordinators in state agencies, cities, counties, schools and colleges. Please contact the Committee for this information. Also the Committee manages a listserve (http://listserv.tamu.edu/archives/texadac-l.html)
