Form 1295 Filings Page Help

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.

What Are My Responsibilities?

A governmental entity or state agency that receives a completed disclosure of interested parties form and certificate of filing shall notify the TEC of receipt of those documents not later than the 30th day after the date the contract associated with the forms binds all parties to the contract.  The governmental entity will use the TEC’s Form 1295 online application to acknowledge any completed certificates they have received. 

Once a governmental entity has acknowledged a certificate, the completed Form 1295 will be available on the TEC’s website within seven business days.

Completed Certificates List: After you acknowledge your first certificate, the filing application will begin a list of all completed certificates that have been acknowledged for this governmental entity.  The list will display columns showing pertinent information for each completed certificate:

From this list, you can print a PDF copy of the acknowledged certificate.  You can also sort the list in ascending or descending order by clicking on the column header in which you are interested or search the list by entering the search word in the field at the top of each column.
