Access and Training

New Access

Note: This guidance is for engineering consultants, Federal Highways Administration, and metropolitan organizations who only access TxDOTCONNECT from outside the TxDOT network and are identified by a –O user ID. External users and staff augmentation who access TxDOTCONNECT and additional applications are identified by a –C user ID should continue managing access with their sponsoring district or division.

To access TxDOTCONNECT, external partners should take the following steps:

1. Complete and sign Form 1828b (Security Form) and Form 1980 (Request for External Access), available on the Contractors Forms page in TxDOT.gov.
2. Send the signed forms to your vendor Point of Contact (POC). 
3. The vendor POC at your company/organization will email the forms to TxDOTCONNECT_helpdesk@txdot.gov. This email should include the following information for you:
   • Provide external consultant's email and phone number;
   • Identify the role(s) to be assigned to the consultant;
   • Identify the supporting district(s) to be assigned to the consultant.

        4. The TxDOTCONNECT Helpdesk will request –O network access and              TxDOTCONNECT security role(s) for you. You will receive your –O user              ID via email and must complete multi-factor authentication.  Log in to              the TxDOTCONNECT system.

If you are a ROWAPS, Surveyor, or Utility consultant, send your completed form 1828b and the Right of Way TxDOTCONNECT Access Request Form (available on the Contractors Forms page) by email to the ROW Applications Helpdesk.
