TxLa Systems

What TxLa Systems does

TxLa Systems is a Texas-based custom manufacturer and integrator of industrial metal buildings and electrical power distribution equipment. The company operates two product categories: fabricated metal buildings — including split buildings, control buildings, blast-resistant buildings rated to 10 PSI, and modular office buildings — and electrical power distribution equipment, including UL 891 switchboards rated to 4000A / 100KAIC, renewable auxiliary skids for solar, wind, and battery storage applications, and busbar products. Underlying operations rely on in-house design, engineering, fabrication, and integration rather than subcontracted manufacturing stages, with installed equipment including a 9K Amada Laser System and SALVAGNINI panel bender. Switchboards carry a standard 14-16 week lead time, with expedited delivery options available.

The company goes to market through direct B2B sales with dedicated sales contacts for building fabrication (Drake Lord) and power distribution equipment (JRay Cox), a Request-a-Quote portal, and active organic social and website presence. Pricing is per-project and quote-based, with multi-year contract structures, and no public pricing exists. Served end-markets are Oil & Gas, Energy, Data Center (primary), Utility, and Renewables. The company maintains four Texas facilities across Huffman (corporate HQ and manufacturing), Beaumont (equipment and controls), and Mont Belvieu (small enclosures and custom fabrication).

Originally operating as Richard Automation, the company rebranded to TxLa Systems prior to establishing a 2023 partnership with Mission Critical Group (MCG). Capacity was expanded materially through 2024-2025, with a new Beaumont facility opened October 2024, a 25,000 sq. ft. Mont Belvieu enclosure facility groundbreaking in February 2025, a Beaumont scale-up groundbreaking in March 2025, a 6,500 sq. ft. second Huffman facility groundbreaking in April 2025, and a 43,000 sq. ft. second Mont Belvieu facility opening in May 2025. On April 8, 2026, TxLa was fully acquired by McKinney-based Mission Critical Group (MCG), bringing the workforce and Texas footprint into MCG's integrated power infrastructure platform serving data centers, utilities, industrial, energy, and healthcare markets. The company's website now displays "TxLa Is Now MCG" messaging.
