Program recognized repeatedly for digital
government excellence
For the fifth straight year, Texas.gov, the State’s official
website, was recognized for digital government excellence by
multiple industry award programs. Recognition spanned several areas
of the Texas.gov program, including website innovation and
excellence, cost-effective solutions for the operation of state
government, and well-crafted, effective campaigns to market online
services to citizens. The nineteen awards in 2015 represent the
most accolades the program has ever received, surpassing last
year’s record of eighteen.
“Texas citizens have grown to expect online access to all Texas
government services and information. Our teams at DIR and Texas
NICUSA always strive to meet and exceed expectations. The awards
received by the program are a testament that we continue to be on
the right track,” said Janet Gilmore, Director of Digital
Government for the Texas Dept. of Information Resources (DIR).

Consumer Alert: In order to safely take care of your
government business online, beware of unofficial, look-alike
websites operated by private organizations that may charge
unnecessary fees for services or information. Instead, make sure
you are using the State’s official website, www.texas.gov, or an
official state agency website to complete your online transaction.
To access an official website, enter the URL in the address bar at
the top of your Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) instead of entering the address in a
search engine bar (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.). Also look for
the .gov or state.tx.us extension which will be
present in the URLs of all official Texas state government
websites.
