12-Form 3 - Texas Ethics Commission Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295).pdf

This document is a Texas Ethics Commission Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295), which is a mandatory form to be completed by the awarded vendor prior to contract execution. The form is designed to disclose interested parties who have a significant financial interest in the business entity entering into a government contract. The form requires detailed information about the business filing the form, the governmental entity or state agency involved, and any interested parties with controlling or intermediary roles.

The form has several key sections, including spaces to list the name and location of the business entity, the governmental entity or state agency, an identification number for tracking the contract, and a grid to list interested parties with their city, state, county, and nature of interest (controlling or intermediary). The form must be signed under oath by an authorized agent of the contracting business entity, and additional pages can be added as necessary. This transparency document is part of Texas's efforts to ensure open and accountable government contracting processes.
