Public Domain and Linking to Our Web Site
The TCEQ maintains this Web site as a public service and the
content of our site is considered "public domain." We have no
restrictions on linking to our site as long as a fee is not charged
to access our material. However, we would appreciate acknowledgment
on your site of any items you use and for them to be linked to in
the proper context.
Linking to Other Web Sites from Our Site
The TCEQ endeavors to follow the 
State
Web Site Link and Privacy Policy, which addresses linking to
and from state agency Web sites.
In addition, we will consider linking to a private Web site
(other than state agencies or universities) if the answer to all
the following questions is "yes":
- Is the information at the target site relevant to agency
business? Is it relevant to the TCEQ Web page to which it is
linked?
- Does the link go to the specific portion of the target site
that we consider to be of interest?
- While we cannot vouch for the accuracy of another site, is the
information at the specific link accurate?
- Does establishing this link not create a competitive advantage
(or disadvantage) to private enterprise?
- Is the target site one we expect will be maintained?
- Is the loading time of the target site not significantly longer
than the standard (10 seconds on a 56.6 modem) acceptable for TCEQ
Web pages?
Links to other Web sites from our site are provided solely as a
courtesy and will take you off the TCEQ Web server. Agency staff or
customers have found that the target Web site may contain useful
information. Because the TCEQ has no control over the posting of
material to such Web sites, the agency cannot take responsibility
for the validity of the content. (See our Site Disclaimer
for additional information.)

If you encounter an inactive link, please use the "Questions or
Comments" e-mail option at the top of the TCEQ page offering the

you encountered the broken link.
