Disclosure of Interested Parties
In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added section 2252.908 of
the Government Code. The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not
enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a
disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the
business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The
law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires
an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be
signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a
contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016. The process as implemented by the
Commission is as follows:
1. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form
1295 and print a copy of the form and a separate certification of filing that will contain
a unique certification number.
2. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form and
have the form notarized. The completed Form 1295 and certification of filing must be
filed with the city “at the time the business entity submits the signed contract” to the
city.
3. The city must notify the Commission, using the Commission’s filing application, of the
receipt of the filed Form 1295 and certification of filing not later than the 30th day after
the date the contract binds all parties to the contract.
