WorkQuest

As Texans, we are proud to have the most robust economy in the nation, where businesses big and small can thrive. Texas’ economic philosophy is guided by an abiding concern for the men and women who constitute our workforce. As such, it is appropriate to recognize and honor the nearly two million Texans with disabilities, who are vital components of our economy.

Individuals with disabilities serve as living proof that our circumstances need not define our value. They demonstrate tenacity and determination on a daily basis, and they make enormous contributions to our state, our civic life, and our economy.

We know in Texas that it is not our challenges that define us, but rather how we rise above them. These hardworking men and women who overcome the hardships of disability and demonstrate the resilience and indomitable will that characterize our great state. Texas is proud of efforts to create a work environment accessible to all, regardless of ability status.
