Implementation of House Bill 1295

Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295):

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 (with a few exceptions) only to a contract between a business entity and 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.

Changed or Amended Contracts:

Form 1295 is only required for a change made to an existing contract in certain circumstances: (1) if a Form 1295

was not filed for the existing contract, then a filing is only required if the changed contract either requires an action

or vote by the governing body or the value of the changed contract is at least $1 million; or (2) if a Form 1295 was

filed for the existing contract, then another filing is only required for the changed contract if there is a change to

the information disclosed in the Form 1295, the changed contract requires an action or vote by the governing

body, or the value of the changed contract increases by at least $1 million.

As required by law, the Commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5,

2015. The Commission also adopted rules (Chapter 46) to implement the law. The Commission does not have

any additional authority to enforce or interpret section 2252.908 of the Government Code.

Filing Process:

A business entity must use the Form 1295 filing application the Commission created to enter the required

information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form. Once entered into the filing application, the

completed form will include a unique certification number, called a “certification of filing.”

An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form affirming under the penalty of

perjury that the completed form is true and correct.

The completed, printed, and signed Form 1295 bearing the unique certification of filing number must be filed with

the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract.

Acknowledgement by State Agency or Governmental Entity:

The governmental entity or state agency must acknowledge receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of

filing, using the Commission’s filing application, not later than the 30th day after the date the governing body or

state agency receives the Form 1295. The Commission will post the completed Form 1295 to its website within

seven business days after the governmental entity or state agency acknowledges receipt of the form.

Additional Information:

Section 2252.908, Government Code.

Important Notice! The State of Texas has enacted a new law that concerns Vendors

doing business with local governments effective January 1, 2006. All Vendors must

now register with Upshur County before they submit a bid or proposal. Please take the

time to read the information on Conflict of Interest Disclosure provided below.

Conflict of Interest Disclosure

Beginning January 1, 2006, a new state law (Chapter 176 of the Local Government

Code) requires all persons contracting, or negotiating to contract, or making a bid to

sell goods or services, with or to Upshur County, to file a completed Conflict of Interest

Questionnaire with the County Clerk. Failure to comply with this law is a criminal

offense.

The form can be found at http://www.ethics.state.tx.us/forms/CIQ.pdf.

This law does not apply to certain court appointed persons such as attorneys,

physicians, interpreters and the like. It is your responsibility to determine whether it

applies to you.
