Why a Claude website can’t be generic

The county government of Armstrong County sits in Claude; county business brings people into town every weekday. People who drive in from elsewhere in the county plan the trip in advance, often the night before. Show the address, parking and the hours near the top of the page; a visitor from out of town wants to plan the trip.

• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• Texas has no state-level general license, but city and county permits still apply, so check the local county and city government where the business operates. In Claude, that means asking Armstrong County and the City of Claude. Official source
