The Texas DOGE initiative, signed into law by Governor Abbott, is a statewide mandate to simplify regulations, reduce red tape, and modernize outdated systems. Accela helps government agencies at every level do just that—by streamlining permitting and licensing, improving transparency, and delivering faster, more intuitive services to residents and businesses.
