We try to use WCAG 2.0 to comply with Section 508, specific to 1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications, with a few exceptions. We try to map TAC 206.70/Section 508 to WCAG 2.0 in the attached documents.

We follow Section 508 to comply with TAC 213, with a few exceptions regarding video and multimedia products.

Sincerely,

Hi All!

In order to make a website compliant with 'Chapter 206' and 'Chapter 213'
of Texas Administrative Code, would it be sufficient to abide by WCAG 2.0 or the website need to compliant with Section 508?

Thanks and Regards,
Snahendu Bhattacharya
