Candidate Finance Reports
The 88th Legislature passed HB 2626, which requires all political subdivisions to post on their website all campaign finance reports filed on or after September 1, 2023. The new Internet posting requirement applies to all entities that receive campaign finance reports, including counties, cities, school districts, hospital districts, library districts, utility districts, water districts, etc. The campaign reports must be posted within 10 business days of receipt and remain on the political subdivision’s website for five years after the report is first made available. The political subdivision may redact the address (other than city, state and zip code) of any contributor before posting the report on its website. The report that includes the full address must remain available at the political subdivision’s office.
YOU CAN FIND CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORTS HERE.
Be advised, the 2025 modified reporting threshold has been changed to $1,110. Forms have been updated as they have become available through the Texas Secretary of State's Office.
