Open Government & Compliance Transparency

Open Government & Compliance Transparency

 

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts’ website notes that:

“Meaningful transparency leads to greater accountability. Texans work hard to earn every tax dollar they send to the state and local governments. This why we publish information about how and where those dollars are spent.” 

Our website and this page is dedicated to providing information encouraged by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts to support this sentiment of accountability and transparency.  There are multiple additional areas of focus for the Transparency Stars program including general finances, Debt, Contracts, Pensions and Economic Development.

More information about this component of the Transparency Stars program can be found here:  https://comptroller.texas.gov/transparency/local/stars/open.php
