Information Security Reminder
As remote work has increased, so too have hacking attempts against remote workers. With that in mind, please note that as an agency we won't email you attached files unexpectedly, and if we ask you to visit a webpage to enter information, in the URL you should see "https://pels.texas.gov", "https://engineers.texas.gov", or "https://txls.texas.gov".

If you receive an email from us that you suspect is a phishing or hacking attempt, please send let us know at echohelp@pels.texas.gov and we'll investigate and get back to you ASAP.
