Survey Methodology
The Texas Broadband Development Office (BDO) launched the Texas Digital Opportunity Survey in 2023 to identify the digital opportunity barriers affecting Texas households, such as the lack of access to broadband infrastructure, reliable and affordable internet service, and the devices necessary to use the internet. The BDO also utilized the survey to examine challenges to broadband adoption, including digital literacy, awareness of cybersecurity and online privacy, and publicly accessible online resources.
