From San Diego, Nexos builds custom software, private language models, AI agents and the integrations between systems for Texas companies, working entirely remotely. Discovery, reviews and training happen over video, scheduled for Central Time, and each design takes the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act and the state’s 2026 AI statute into account, with your counsel confirming compliance.
The Governor’s economic development office describes a Texas economy powered by 57 Fortune 500 companies and more than 3.5 million small businesses, and calls it the eighth-largest economy when compared with the nations of the world. It organises the state’s growth around a list of target industries that reads like a map of process-heavy work: advanced manufacturing, energy, petroleum refining and chemicals, transportation and logistics, semiconductors, life sciences, food and livestock, and professional services and corporate operations.
The Census Bureau’s business counts show the other side of that economy. Texas had 670,878 employer establishments in 2023, employing just over twelve million people — a workforce that grew 4.4% in a single year — and more than three million nonemployer businesses. Growth at that pace is hard on back offices: headcount rises faster than the systems and procedures built for the smaller company.
The state also leads the country in producing oil, gas, wind and utility-scale solar power, according to the same office. Energy operators, their field-service contractors and the fabricators that supply them generate a steady stream of tickets, inspections, permits and invoices. In our view, many of those firms still fill some of that paperwork in by hand and key it again back at the office.
No client projects are described here; these are the builds the state’s industries point toward, with the reasoning for each.
Oilfield service and energy contractors capture work on paper or a phone app, then someone keys it into accounting and the customer’s billing portal. Connecting capture, approval and invoicing — with a person checking anything out of pattern — shortens the cash cycle and removes a whole category of disputes.
Carriers, brokers and warehouses spend their days on exceptions: late loads, missing paperwork, rate questions. An agent that reads the incoming email, matches it to the shipment and drafts the reply or the claim, for a dispatcher to approve, takes the repetitive half of that work off the desk.
A business whose workforce grows faster than its reporting usually ends up with a spreadsheet per department and a monthly argument about which one is right. A small data platform that pulls from the systems of record gives leadership one set of numbers, refreshed daily.
Engineering drawings, well data, formulations and patient records are exactly the material a company should not paste into a public chatbot. A private model — on your hardware, or hosted and dedicated to you — lets staff search and draft from it without that data leaving your control.
Shared-services and headquarters teams run approvals, onboarding and vendor requests through email chains and forms. A purpose-built internal tool with an audit trail replaces the chains and shows who is holding what.
Texas has a comprehensive privacy statute, a biometric-identifier law and, since January 1, 2026, an AI governance act. The Attorney General enforces all three, and none of them gives individuals a private right to sue.
Applies to businesses that conduct business in Texas or produce products or services Texans consume, process or sell personal data, and are not small businesses under the federal SBA size standards — Texas sets no revenue threshold of its own, though even a small business needs opt-in consent to sell sensitive data. Consumers can access, correct, delete and port their data and opt out of targeted advertising, sale and certain profiling; higher-risk processing needs a data protection assessment. The Attorney General must give 30 days to cure before suing, with penalties of up to $7,500 per violation.
Prohibits developing or deploying AI intended to manipulate people toward self-harm, harm or crime, to discriminate unlawfully against a protected class, or to produce certain sexual content, and puts further limits on government use such as social scoring; government agencies, and providers of health care services who use AI in that care, must tell people when they are interacting with AI. The Attorney General enforces it exclusively after a 60-day cure period. It also creates a regulatory sandbox, run by the Department of Information Resources, for testing AI systems for up to 36 months.
A business may not capture a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or record of hand or face geometry for a commercial purpose without first informing the person and receiving consent, and must destroy it within a year after the purpose ends. The 2025 amendments exempt data used only to train or evaluate AI, unless the system is used to identify a specific person. Penalties run to $25,000 per violation.

A Texas engagement starts with the free technology audit: a video call, then a written audit ranking what is worth building. If you go ahead, you get a fixed-scope proposal with a fixed price. Once the build starts, the recorded workshop in which your team walks us through the forms, the systems and the workarounds, the short sessions for each role, and the staged reviews of working software all run over video.
Most of Texas keeps Central Time, two hours ahead of our Pacific clock, so we hold reviews in your late morning or early afternoon; the El Paso area keeps Mountain Time, one hour ahead of ours. Go-live and training run live over video and are recorded, so a crew that works different shifts can watch them later.
Remote: discovery, reviews and training over video, with shared documents and working software in between. Central Time for most of the state; Mountain Time in El Paso and Hudspeth counties.
The free technology audit is a call and a written audit, wherever you are, Southern California included. Outside Southern California, all of it runs over video.
Audit — free: a call and a written technology audit.
Build — from $4,900 per fixed-scope project.
Run — from $890/month for a hosted private model.
The same prices everywhere. See pricing.
Aidan Luchans founded Abrams & Luchanski in San Diego in 2024, and designed and built the Nexos Platform, a multi-tenant AI operations platform: AI agents, multi-step workflows with human approval, connections to roughly 90 business tools, and private knowledge search.
Aidan leads both the firm’s advisory work and Nexos’s engineering, so the person who scopes a project also builds it.
Because every Texas engagement is remote, a business in the Panhandle or the Valley gets exactly the same service as one in a downtown tower. Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin businesses are all on Central Time, two hours ahead of San Diego; El Paso is one hour ahead.
Yes. Outside Southern California everything runs over video: the free technology audit (a call and a written audit), a fixed-scope proposal, then the build, with a weekly check-in call, a shared progress board and working software to try early. Prices are the same as in Southern California; the only difference is that the on-site sessions of a Southern California build are replaced by video here.
It depends mainly on whether you count as a small business under the federal SBA size standards for your industry, since Texas has no revenue threshold of its own. If you do, most of the Act does not apply, but selling sensitive data still needs consent. Banks and other GLBA-covered financial institutions, HIPAA covered entities and their business associates, nonprofits, colleges and electric utilities are exempt outright, and data about your own employees is outside the Act. Your counsel should confirm; we design the data handling either way.
TRAIGA does not ban AI in hiring or customer service in Texas. It targets AI built to manipulate people, to discriminate intentionally against a protected class or to produce prohibited content, plus specific limits on government use. TRAIGA itself mainly bars AI built with intent to discriminate or manipulate, but a hiring screener is still subject to federal and Texas employment-discrimination law (Title VII, Texas Labor Code ch. 21), including disparate impact under federal law, so we build screening tools with logging, human review of every rejection and bias testing. If you provide health care services and use AI in that care, you must disclose AI use to patients, no later than the date the service is first provided. Take legal advice on your specific use.
Prices are the same wherever the client is based. The technology audit that opens an engagement is free. A build, whether an agent, an integration or a custom application, is a fixed-scope project priced from $4,900, and a hosted private model runs from $890/month. The final number for a Texas project is written into the scope before work starts.
