Switching off Telicon? It's easier than you think.
This is what USLege does that Telicon does not.
You export the reports and reformat them so they look presentable. You have learned every quirk by heart. That is not loyalty, it is muscle memory. USLege gives you all fifty states plus federal and Puerto Rico, choose exactly the footprint you need, live searchable hearing video, live alerts straight from the source, and briefings that draft themselves, so what you actually get back is your time.
Telicon and the Texas Legislative Service are the same company, in Texas. If StateWatch in New York or LegisOK in Oklahoma is on your invoice, this page is for you too.
Tools you might recognize, state by state.
Texas Legislative Service traces to 1924.
Telicon and the Texas Legislative Service are the same company, operating in Texas. If StateWatch in New York or LegisOK in Oklahoma is on your invoice, this page applies to you too. USLege covers all 50 states, plus Congress, Puerto Rico, local government, and agency rulemaking, reached within three years of founding, and connects directly to each legislature rather than pulling from someone else's feed.
No matter what state, it's the same product.
USLege connects directly to each individual legislature, all 50 states plus federal and Puerto Rico from day one, aggregates it ourselves, and layers on our own media monitoring and independent AI-generated news for customers. You don't switch software or relearn a system state to state, and unlike a single-state legacy product, you choose exactly the footprint you need: one state, a handful, all fifty, federal only, or any combination, all in one account, all in one place to search across.
Worried about learning something new? You don't have to.
AI-native means you just ask, out loud or typed: "What happened in the Senate hearing this morning?" No manuals, no retraining. Your own AI account manager helps build agents for you, and training is unlimited for the whole team, new hires included. The learning curve you're picturing belonged to the old way. It's gone.
One hundred years. One state.
Texas Legislative Service, which operates under the Telicon name, was founded in 1924 and serves Texas today. USLege launched in 2023, has been AI-native since, and connects directly to all 50 states plus federal and Puerto Rico. If your team needs that broader footprint, USLege is built for it.
We already know what you'd miss. We're building it.
We talk to people switching off Telicon every week, and the story isn't "Telicon is bad." People who've used it for years like specific things about it, and we'd rather tell the truth than pretend otherwise.
We listen to you. You get a dedicated account manager, a real person, not a ticket queue; we haven't found a public account-manager offering from Telicon. When a customer tells us what they want, we build it. We don't stop, ever, constant development since 2023, listening to the partners actually using the platform.

We both started in Texas. One of us stayed there.
Telicon's story starts in Austin in 1924, as the Texas Legislative Service. Ours does too, in a sense, our founder Laura Davis built USLege in the state capitols. A century later, Telicon still serves Texas. Three years after USLege started, we connect directly to all 50 states plus Congress, Puerto Rico, and local.
