TxDOTCONNECT access for consultants and external partners

Maintaining account access

TxDOT has implemented a Non-Use Policy for all users with an -O and -C account.

Users will also need to log into both TxDOTCONNECT & TxDOTNow every 30 days to maintain their user account in active status.

Important: If a consultant does not log in every 30 days, their TxDOT network account will be disabled for use and will be unable to log in.

Note: For issues logging in, email the TxDOTCONNECT_helpdesk@txdot.gov for Engineering consultants or the ROW_Applications_Helpdesk@txdot.gov for Right of Way consultants.
