About YTexas
A trusted resource, since 2013We work with the companies moving to Texas, after they get here.
We keep the record of who has arrived. We run the events where they meet the state. And we make the introductions that follow, which is the part members tell us they value most.
Talk to us
Tell us what you are trying to do in Texas and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
Received.
We will reply within two business days.
The work does not end upon your arrival. In Texas, it has just started.
Ed Curtis, founder and chief executive
What we do
Three things, and they feed each other
We keep the record
The Rēlo Tracker holds every corporate relocation into Texas we could verify since 2005. No state agency publishes it and no chamber publishes it. It is free and it is the most useful thing we produce.
We run the events
A statewide summit and regional events through the year, in Austin, Dallas, Houston, College Station and beyond. They are deliberately light on keynotes and heavy on the room.
We make the introductions
About twenty a month. Someone tells us what they are trying to do and we point them at the two or three people worth their time. Not a database. A person who knows them.
Our visionTo build a stronger, more connected Texas
In the press

What we are not.
We do not recruit companies to Texas, and we are not an economic development agency. We work with companies once the decision is made and the hard part starts. If that is not what you need, we will say so.
