Scattered sources
Permit feeds, agency portals, notices, attachments, and amendments rarely arrive in one clean format.
Independent project research for Texas trades
Less portal-checking. More qualified work to review.
Texas Project Desk screens public permit and procurement sources, normalizes what matters, and delivers concise project briefs with links back to the official record.
Why the desk exists
The problem is not a lack of data.
The problem is deciding which records deserve an estimator’s attention before the deadline—or the project—moves on.
Uneven records
Dates, locations, values, scopes, and buyer details can be incomplete or inconsistent across public systems.
Limited review time
A raw alert still leaves someone to open the record, check fit, and find the issue that could change the decision.
Current pilots
Two narrow jobs. No lead-database theater.
Each pilot is individually scoped. Pricing, coverage, cadence, and cancellation terms are confirmed in writing before work starts.

Research method
A desk, not a black box.
Automation handles repetitive extraction and normalization. Human review controls the claims, source links, and final shortlist.
Monitor
Check selected official public sources for records inside the agreed scope.
Normalize
Standardize useful fields without hiding missing dates, values, or descriptions.
Screen
Apply trade, location, deadline, scope, and document checks agreed for the pilot.
Deliver
Send a concise brief with direct source links so the buyer can verify every item.
Standards: Texas Project Desk is independent and is not affiliated with any government agency. It does not prepare bids, certify eligibility, provide legal or procurement advice, promise awards, or claim that public records are complete or real-time. Coverage and timeliness vary by source.
Start with evidence
Ask for the sample before discussing a pilot.
Tell Alex your trade and service area. If the current sample is relevant, you will receive it with the source limitations intact. If it is not relevant, there is no follow-up sequence.
