The document is a Form 1295 "Certificate of Interested Parties" issued by the Town of Horizon City, related to a Texas state legislative requirement under House Bill 1295 and Government Code § 2252.908. The form mandates that any business entity entering into a contract requiring City Council approval must submit a "Disclosure of Interested Parties" prior to contract execution. Businesses must complete an electronic filing of Form 1295 on the Texas Ethics Commission website, print and sign the form, and submit it with their bid or proposal.
The Texas Ethics Commission implemented this disclosure requirement in 2015 to increase transparency in government contracting. Businesses are instructed to visit the Texas Ethics Commission website (www.ethics.state.tx.us) for detailed guidance, instructional videos, and additional information about the form. If a firm is selected for award, the Purchasing & Strategic Sourcing Department will verify the submitted form electronically.
