Disclosure Requirements
Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code mandates the public disclosure of certain information
concerning persons doing business or seeking to do business with the Bryan Texas Utilities, including
affiliations and business and financial relationships such persons may have with BTU officers. An
explanation of the requirements of Chapter 176, applicable forms and a complete text of the new law are

BY DOING BUSINESS OR SEEKING TO DO BUSINESS WITH BRYAN TEXAS UTILITIES,
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF
CHAPTER 176 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE AND THAT YOU ARE
SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH THEM.
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.
