The attorney then discussed with the Board the requirements of Texas Local Government Code Chapter 203, Subchapter D. The law requires districts to annually provide certain records and information concerning the District's finances and tax rates to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. The comptroller has created a special information database on their website, where the information will be assembled, updated, and made available to the public free of charge. The required information is already publicly available in other places, but the law requires submission of the information to the comptroller. The information includes the name of the District, the names of the Board members, any employees, addresses, websites if applicable, names of certain consultants, the total amount of bonds authorized by District voters, the aggregate principal amount of bonds issued, the tax rate, and audited financial information. Upon unanimous vote, the Board authorized the attorney to prepare and file the required report by the April 1,2026 deadline.
