The State of Nonsubscription in Texas

In the current TDI window, 10,411 Texas employers filed 17,626 DWC-005s; 39 are QCARE-designated with listing consent.

Filings count DWC-005 records; unique filers deduplicate those records by normalized filer name. Industry and size views are aggregate company estimates, so their totals use a different grain.
