About this file
This is a Lobbying Certification exhibit required by the Texas Department of Agriculture for state and local contract opportunities involving federal funds. The certification document serves as a material representation of fact that must be submitted as a prerequisite for contract execution. The document obligates the undersigned to certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officers, congressional employees, or agency personnel in connection with the awarding of federal contracts, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements. The certification further requires that if any non-federal funds are used for lobbying purposes, Standard Form-LLL must be completed and submitted in accordance with applicable instructions.
The certification establishes compliance requirements that extend to all sub-awards and sub-recipients at every tier of the contract structure, including sub-contracts, sub-grants, and contracts under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements. All sub-recipients must certify and disclose lobbying activities accordingly. The document imposes significant civil penalties for non-compliance, with violators subject to penalties of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each failure to file the required certification. The certification must be executed by an authorized signatory, with provision for signature by the Chief Financial Officer or a designated representative, and requires both a signature and date of execution.
