TAC Survey – New Services

The Texas Association of Counties (TAC) wants to hear about what your county needs and the challenges it faces. Complete this survey by Feb. 28, 2021, to let TAC Membership Services know what else it can do for you. While not all suggestions will be able to be implemented, your insight is valuable as it will allow TAC to consider your unique perspective as it plans for the future of its services designed to benefit counties.
