To apply:

Here's how the application process works:

  1. Get in touch with a Texas Workforce Solutions office or TWC Vocational Rehabilitation Inquiries.

  2. Schedule a meeting to discuss services and complete initial paperwork.

  3. If you’re eligible, you'll work with your counselor to develop a plan for services. This plan will outline your employment goal and the services you need.
