Orders that qualify for flat rate shipping will ship either through USPS or FedEx at our discretion. Orders with the selected methods of FedEx Ground, FedEx 2 Day or FedEx Next Day will only ship via FedEx.

6) Service Awards

The State of Texas Service Awards began in 1998 as a partnership between the Capitol Gift Shops and the Texas Workforce Commission as a way to honor their employees for their many years of service. Over the years the program has grown to include a number of other state agencies. The service awards program aims to provide state agencies with a simple way to reward their employees for their dedication.

The program offers awards for every 5 years of service, and the price of the awards increases relative to the years of service. The pricing tiers may be set by the agency and only one award may be claimed per recipient. The recipient has 30 days from the issuing of their login information to claim their award, reminder emails are sent out one week prior to the expiration of the event. For more information please email us at [email protected].
