We don't want your district to miss out on TexQuest communications. But we know that sometimes things change - especially over the summer. The TexQuest Support Center at ESC-20 maintains district contact information for: Primary TexQuest Contact, Primary Library Contact, Primary Curriculum Contact, Primary Technology Contact, Accounts Payable. Contact the TexQuest Support Center to change this contact information.

 Your participation makes TexQuest stronger. And so does the participation of all eligible districts in Texas. Take a minute to check out the TexQuest map maintained by the state library. Blue dots have committed for Year 1, green dots have paid for Year 2, but the gray boxes indicate districts who may not know about the resources available for just $.22 a student. If you know someone in these smaller districts or charter schools, let them know about TexQuest. Continue here to view the TexQuest map.
