Abstract:

This report, entitled "Introduction to and Executive Summary of Texas Department of Transportation Study 7-980," is the seventh and final volume of the seven-volume "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Capacity Study." Study 7-980 was undertaken at the request of the Texas Department of Transportation in partial response to its obligations under Senate Bill 352, 72nd Texas State Legislature (Texas Revised Statutes, Article 6669C), to conduct a fact-finding study in support of a state-funds contracting and procurement program for businesses owned by minorities and women. In this study, we developed statistical, anecdotal, and historical evidence regarding the ongoing effects of past and present race and gender discrimination on black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian and Pacific Islander, and women-owned businesses in Texas. We also conducted detailed mail surveys of persons with experience in or knowledge of the highway construction and maintenance industry in Texas. Additionally, we conducted careful reviews of other DBE legislation and programs in existence in Texas and elsewhere in the nation, and fact-finding studies conducted by other states subsequent to Croson. The results of the study show that historical, systemic, and institutionalized discrimination severely restricted minority access to sources of wealth and power and was a major factor accounting for the marginal status of minority businesses in the Texas economy. The evidence demonstrates that economic disparities between minorities and Anglos remain considerable. The gap is particularly wide with respect to business activities.
