Employers that opt out file a notice of no coverage (DWC Form-005) with the state each year. This dataset counts those filings from October 2024 to September 2026: for the state, and for each county with at least five non-subscribing employers, the employers with a location in the county, their locations and the filings by year. Counties with fewer than five are combined. Employers are businesses: no company names or addresses are kept. A ZIP code is placed in the county that holds most of its land.","key":"jurisdiction","count":239,"keys":[{"key":"TX","url":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/tx-nonsubscribers/jurisdictions/TX.json","records":239}],"endpoints":{"key":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/tx-nonsubscribers/jurisdictions/{jurisdiction}.json","all":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/tx-nonsubscribers/tx-nonsubscribers.json","search":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/tx-nonsubscribers/search.json","changes":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/tx-nonsubscribers/changes.json","csv":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/tx-nonsubscribers/tx-nonsubscribers.csv","openapi":"https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/tx-nonsubscribers/openapi.json"}}
