Local Government Debt Report (HB 1378) FY 2016

The 84th Legislature passed HB 1378 to increase the transparency of local government debt. Under Local Government Code §140.008, political subdivisions, including counties, cities, school districts, junior college districts, certain special purpose districts, and other subdivisions of state government must annually compile their debt obligation data from the preceding fiscal year and either:
1. report it to the Comptroller of Public Accounts for posting or, alternatively,
2. post the information on their own websites.
The information presented on the Comptroller's website and retrievable using this search tool is self-reported by submitting entities or third parties on their behalf and has not been independently verified by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. The inclusion of an entity's information here confirms that the Comptroller received the submitted information but does not verify the entity's compliance with the terms of Local Government Code § 140.008. Specific questions or concerns regarding an entity's debt obligations should be directed to that entity.

Submission deadline is 180 days from the last day of the entity’s fiscal year.

第八十四届立法机构通过了HB 1378法案，旨在提升地方政府债务的透明度。根据《地方政府法》第140.008节，包括县、市、学区、初级学院区、特定特殊目的区以及其他州政府下属区域在内的政治辖区，必须每年汇总前一年度的债务责任数据，并选择以下任一方式：
1. 向公共会计长报告以进行公布；或
2. 在其自身网站上公布信息。
通过公共会计长网站展示并可通过此搜索工具检索的信息，系由提交实体或第三方代表其提交，且未经德克萨斯州公共会计长独立核实。在此处包含实体的信息仅确认公共会计长已收到提交的信息，但并不验证实体是否符合《地方政府法》第140.008节的规定。有关实体债务责任的具体问题或疑虑，应直接向该实体提出。
提交截止日期为实体财政年度最后一天起180天。
