Preparing for the New Texas Unemployment System (TxUS)

Important Update: In early 2026, TWC is transitioning to a new consolidated Texas Unemployment Insurance (UI) System, TxUS. This will replace existing tax systems and public-facing web applications.

***Action Requested***

To ensure a smooth transition, please take the following steps:

1. Login to your Unemployment Tax Services account: UTS Log On  
2. Review the information: Account Info > Quick Links Box > Update TWC account
   • Verify and update, if needed:
     • Mailing address
     • Phone number
     • Payroll address

New Resources Coming Soon:

New System Credentialing Process: A new authentication process will be implemented when TxUS goes live in 2026. You will need to create a new user ID, password, and security questions within the TxUS system. This applies to both individual employers and those represented by third-party administrators (TPAs) or Agents. Further details will be provided in the coming months.

Training: TWC will provide instructional videos and job aids on using TxUS. These will cover topics such as filing reports, making payments, changing addresses, creating agent accounts, and registering as a new employer. The videos and job aides will be available before Go Live on the TWC website Texas Unemployment System (TxUS) Announcement.

New System File Specifications for TxUS: The file specifications for TxUS are available on the TWC website. Please note, these specifications are for the new system only, which will launch in 2026.

TWC will continue to provide updates regarding the TxUS transition. Please visit the TWC website for the latest information and resources.
