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.
