The Fishes of Texas Project aims to provide reliable occurrences of fishes from the entire extents of all the drainage basins that intersect Texas. Starting in 2006, with the database of specimens held in the University of Texas' Ichthyology Collection (TNHCi), we added specimen data collected from our study area from all of the museums we could find to create the initial version of the Fishes of Texas database. At the time, many of those were not online and all had their data in diverse formats and development of biodiversity data standards was in its infancy. We laboriously compiled these disparate sources into a schema derived from that of the Specify Collections Management software. We retain the verbatim data received from the data donors, but then did our own processing and quality control starting by normalizing formats and taxonomy. We manually georeferenced all localities, allowing us to map species to find outliers and, as possible, examined specimens and corrected determinations for misidentified specimens. We photographed specimens and original labels of many specimens examined. Uncertainty in dates is expressed using begin and end dates. Uncertainty in locations is expressed with a radius, that with coordinates (lat., long.), defines a circle in which the collection is determined to have occurred. The institutions holding examined specimens have been informed of our re-determinations and other corrections, but we do not control repatriation, so users may find our records for some specimens conflict with the data they might now independently publish. The database continues to grow and evolve, initially holding only specimen records from 44 institutions, now includes data from 116 institutions including non-specimen sources such as state and federal agencies, citizen scientists, peer and non-peer reviewed literature and word of mouth accounts. Thus, the dataset contains many records that are not openly published, for use by researchers and resource managers interested in the fish fauna of Texas and adjoining parts of its river basins. The same data can also be queried and explored in diverse ways via our website (http://www.fishesoftexas.org), where users will find additional documentation and other data-exploration tools.

The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) publishes a quarterly report of employers with active Texas workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Employers with coverage are called “subscribers.” Texas does not require most private employers to have workers' compensation insurance coverage.

Insurance carriers report coverage data to DWC using the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions’ (IAIABC) IAIABC Proof of Coverage (POC) Release 2.1 electronic data interchange (EDI) standard. The National Council on Workers’ Compensation Insurance (NCCI) collects the POC data for DWC. POC filings are the source of this data set.

Visit the DWC Employer Coverage Page for more information.

The Submitted Drillers Report (SDR) Database is populated from the online Texas Well Report Submission and Retrieval System (TWRSRS) which registered water-well drillers use to submit their required reports. This dataset contains pipe "|" delimited text files of all data tables from the Submitted Drillers Report (SDR) database, updated nightly.

The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Groundwater Database (GWDB) contains information on selected water wells, springs, oil/gas tests (that were originally intended to be or were converted to water wells), water levels, and water quality to gain representative information about aquifers in Texas to support water planning from a local to a more regional perspective. This is a scientific database, not a registry of every well drilled in the state.

The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) publishes a monthly report of private employers that have opted out of Texas workers’ compensation insurance coverage (non-subscribers). Texas does not require most private employers to have workers' compensation insurance coverage.

Non-subscribers are required to file the https://www.tdi.texas.gov/forms/dwc/dwc005nocov.pdf">DWC Form-005, Employers' Notice of No Coverage or Termination of Coverage annually. The DWC Form-005 is the source of this data set.

This site provides access to download an ArcGIS geodatabase or shapefiles for the 2017 Texas Address Database, compiled by the Center for Water and the Environment (CWE) at the University of Texas at Austin, with guidance and funding from the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM). These addresses are used by TDEM to help anticipate potential impacts of serious weather and flooding events statewide. This is part of the Texas Water Model (TWM), a project to adapt the NOAA National Water Model [1] for use in Texas public safety. This database was compiled over the period from June 2016 to December 2017. A number of gaps remain (towns and cities missing address points), see Address Database Gaps spreadsheet below [4]. Additional datasets include administrative boundaries for Texas counties (including Federal and State disaster-declarations), Councils of Government, and Texas Dept of Public Safety Regions. An Esri ArcGIS Story Map [5] web app provides an interactive map-based portal to explore and access these data layers for download.

The address points in this database include their "height above nearest drainage" (HAND) as attributes in meters and feet. HAND is an elevation model developed through processing by the TauDEM method [2], built on USGS National Elevation Data (NED) with 10m horizontal resolution. The HAND elevation data and 10m NED for the continental United States are available for download from the Texas Advanced Computational Center (TACC) [3].

The complete statewide dataset contains about 9.28 million address points representing a population of about 28 million. The total file size is about 5GB in shapefile format. For better download performance, the shapefile version of this data is divided into 5 regions, based on groupings of major watersheds identified by their hydrologic unit codes (HUC). These are zipped by region, with no zipfile greater than 120mb: - North Tx: HUC1108-1114 (0.52 million address points) - DFW-East Tx: HUC1201-1203 (3.06 million address points) - Houston-SE Tx: HUC1204 (1.84 million address points) - Central Tx: HUC1205-1210 (2.96 million address points) - Rio Grande-SW Tx: HUC2111-1309 (2.96 million address points)

Additional state and county boundaries are included (Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas), as well as disaster-declaration status.

Compilation notes: The Texas Commission for State Emergency Communications (CSEC) provided the first 3 million address points received, in a single batch representing 213 of Texas' 254 counties. The remaining 41 counties were primarily urban areas comprising about 6.28 million addresses (totaling about 9.28 million addresses statewide). We reached the GIS data providers for these areas (see Contributors list below) through these emergency communications networks: Texas 9-1-1 Alliance, the Texas Emergency GIS Response Team (EGRT), and the Texas GIS 9-1-1 User Group. The address data was typically organized in groupings of counties called Councils of Governments (COG) or Regional Planning Commissions (RPC) or Development Councils (DC). Every county in Texas belongs to a COG, RPC or DC. We reconciled all counties' addresses to a common, very simple schema, and merged into a single geodatabase.

November 2023 updates: In 2019, TNRIS took over maintenance of the Texas Address Database, which is now a StratMap program updated annually [6]. In 2023, TNRIS also changed its name to the Texas Geographic Information Office (TxGIO). The datasets available for download below are not being updated, but are current as of the time of Hurricane Harvey.

DISCOVERAQ_Texas_Ground_MoodyTower_Data contains data collected at the Moody Tower ground site during the Texas (Houston) deployment of NASA's DISCOVER-AQ field study. This data product contains data for only the Texas deployment and data collection is complete.Understanding the factors that contribute to near surface pollution is difficult using only satellite-based observations. The incorporation of surface-level measurements from aircraft and ground-based platforms provides the crucial information necessary to validate and expand upon the use of satellites in understanding near surface pollution. Deriving Information on Surface conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality (DISCOVER-AQ) was a four-year campaign conducted in collaboration between NASA Langley Research Center, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA Ames Research Center, and multiple universities to improve the use of satellites to monitor air quality for public health and environmental benefit. Through targeted airborne and ground-based observations, DISCOVER-AQ enabled more effective use of current and future satellites to diagnose ground level conditions influencing air quality.DISCOVER-AQ employed two NASA aircraft, the P-3B and King Air, with the P-3B completing in-situ spiral profiling of the atmosphere (aerosol properties, meteorological variables, and trace gas species). The King Air conducted both passive and active remote sensing of the atmospheric column extending below the aircraft to the surface. Data from an existing network of surface air quality monitors, AERONET sun photometers, Pandora UV/vis spectrometers and model simulations were also collected. Further, DISCOVER-AQ employed many surface monitoring sites, with measurements being made on the ground, in conjunction with the aircraft. The B200 and P-3B conducted flights in Baltimore-Washington, D.C. in 2011, Houston, TX in 2013, San Joaquin Valley, CA in 2013, and Denver, CO in 2014. These regions were targeted due to being in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).The first objective of DISCOVER-AQ was to determine and investigate correlations between surface measurements and satellite column observations for the trace gases ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and formaldehyde (CH2O) to understand how satellite column observations can diagnose surface conditions. DISCOVER-AQ also had the objective of using surface-level measurements to understand how satellites measure diurnal variability and to understand what factors control diurnal variability. Lastly, DISCOVER-AQ aimed to explore horizontal scales of variability, such as regions with steep gradients and urban plumes.

In Texas, animal or plant species of conservation concern may be listed as threatened or endangered under the authority of state law and/or under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). Species may be listed as state threatened or endangered and not federally listed. The state list deals only with the status of the species within Texas. A federal listing means a species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range which may encompass several other states or nations.
