Website Accessibility Policy

The Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending Department (Department) is committed to making its website accessible to all users. To make the site more accessible, the Department includes several features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. Some of these features are described below.

A descriptive text equivalent is provided for images and other non-text elements, aiding users who listen to content on the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site.

Major reports and other publications on the website are generally available in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) or other accessible formats.

The Department is committed to making its website accessible according to the standards set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The Department currently uses various tools for site validation, and it is the goal of the Department to achieve the highest level of accessibility attainable.

The Department welcomes comments on how to improve the website’s accessibility for users with disabilities. If visitors to the website use assistive technology and the format of any material on the website interferes with the ability to access the information, please contact us. To enable the Department to respond in a manner most helpful to website visitors, please indicate the nature of the accessibility problem, the preferred format in which to receive the material, and the web address of the requested material.

Additional information about accessibility programs in Texas is available from the Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities.
