The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) handles all Unemployment Insurance (UI) matters.
Unemployment Insurance (UI) services are available online 24/7, and by telephone Monday-Friday from 7:00am to 7:00pm.
As a rule, you can get help via the internet faster than by telephone.
All individuals who file an unemployment insurance claim must register for work at WorkInTexas.com.
