13-Form E - Respondent Release of Liability v2.0.pdf

Form E is a respondent release of liability document issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas for the Service of Process Request for Proposal. The form must be completed and signed by each respondent for all identified business references and submitted with the respondent's requirements submission. The document requires the respondent to authorize the reference-providing company to disclose all relevant information relating to the business relationship between the parties. By signing the form, the respondent releases the company providing the reference, its agents, employees, and all associated persons from any liability, claims, or causes of action arising from their disclosure of information provided in response to the business reference request.

The form requires signature and printed name from both the respondent and the applicable key staff person, along with the respondent's title and the date of execution. If no key staff person is involved, the key staff signature line should be marked "N/A." This release document is a standard requirement in the proposal submission process and serves to protect reference providers from potential legal claims related to their candid disclosure of business relationship information to the evaluation team.
