The Texas Electric Choice Education Program website is where you can learn about electric competition in Texas and obtain information to help you make informed decisions about your electricity service and Retail Electric Provider.

Millions of Texans have exercised their right to pick their Retail Electric Provider and a plan that is right for them. With a wide variety of electricity products and plans available in the marketplace, you may find a plan that provides you with significant savings or provide more certainty than your current plan. You may also want to consider switching to an electricity product that uses primarily renewable energy. Some Retail Electric Providers also have other value-added services like air conditioning maintenance, rewards programs, or other customer service benefits. However, switching may not be for you if you are happy with your current REP or are currently receiving service under a long-term contract.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) is your source for unbiased information and are here to help you understand the choices available to you, and to obtain the information you need to help you shop for the Retail Electric Provider and electricity plan that's right for you.

The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years. In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask you the questions from the form.

The majority of the country will receive English–only materials. Households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a bilingual (English/Spanish) form.
