Our Commitment
Homestead law affects every Texan, so this website should be usable by every Texan — including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, or other assistive technologies. We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as a benchmark.
What We Do
- Plain-language writing and a clear, consistent heading hierarchy on every page
- Skip-to-content links, labeled navigation landmarks, and keyboard-accessible menus
- Descriptive alternative text for meaningful images, and ARIA labels on interactive tools such as the county map
- Sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds, and support for reduced-motion preferences
- Interactive features designed to degrade gracefully — core information remains available even if scripts or styles fail to load
Known Limitations
Some downloadable PDFs and complex interactive tools may not yet be fully optimized for every assistive technology. Where a tool is difficult to use, the same information is available in text form or directly from the linked official source, and we are working to improve.
