Components

Components are fundamental units of a user interface, designed for specific functionality, structure, and style to promote consistency.

Explore the components below to learn how they are used on the TxDOT.gov website, including guidance on component anatomy, placement, accessibility considerations, and best practices.

Components are designed for specific digital products and use cases. While components may share similar behaviors and interaction patterns, their appearance and implementation may vary across TxDOT digital products to support product-specific needs.

Think of them as the same style of shoe available in different colors or sizes. The function remains the same while the presentation adapts to the product.

Accessibility is crucial for ensuring all users can effectively use digital resources.

Testing responsive components across different devices enhances user satisfaction. Refer to the accessibility section under each component or visit the accessibility policy page for additional information.

Note: As the design system evolves, some components may be removed, updated, or merged. Use the current components list below for the most up‑to‑date and supported options. (Last updated: May 2026)
