Agency History

The Texas Ethics Commission was created by a constitutional amendment which the voters approved in November 1991 (Article III, Section 24a); it was established by Senate Bill 1, 72nd Legislature, Regular Session, 1991, and began operations in January 1992. It has the following powers: to pursue sworn complaints alleging violations of state ethics laws (investigations into sworn complaints are confidential, but formal hearings on allegations are public); to penalize violators of state ethics laws; to sponsor ethics training and informational programs, and to explain compliance guidelines; to issue advisory opinions, which apply ethics laws to specific situations of fact; to require regulatory agencies of the executive branch to develop rules for the commission's approval that limit the acceptance of benefits from regulated entities; to recommend salary levels for members of the legislature and the lieutenant governor, which are submitted to the voters at the next general election; to set the per diem paid to legislators and to the lieutenant governor.

The laws and regulations that the commission enforces include those concerning the following: political contributions and expenditures and political advertising; lobbyist activities; financial disclosure and conduct of state officers and employees; and the contributions and expenditures for the race for speaker of the house. Prior to the creation of the Ethics Commission, the Secretary of State's office administered the filings required by these ethics laws. The advisory opinions which the commission issues concern these laws as well as laws governing bribery, corrupt influence, and abuse of office. These advisory opinions can be used as a defense in a criminal prosecution or in a matter involving civil penalties if the defendant relied on an opinion of the commission in making decisions regarding his or her behavior, or if the defendant's situation is substantially similar to that outlined in the opinion (the identity of a person requesting an advisory opinion is confidential).

The Ethics Commission consists of eight members representing the general public, serving overlapping four-year terms. Four are appointed by the governor, two by the lieutenant governor, and two by the speaker of the house, all of them chosen from lists provided by senate and house caucuses representing political parties required by law to hold primary elections (currently the Democratic and Republican parties). They are non-salaried positions, and the members annually elect a chair.

Johnson on the Texas Ethics Commission in the New Handbook of Texas Online; the Texas Ethics Commission Strategic Plan, FY 1998-FY 2003; and the Texas Ethics Commission web site (http://www.ethics.state.tx.us), accessed November 2005.)

Scope and Contents of the Records

The Texas Ethics Commission has the following powers, which are documented by these records: to pursue sworn complaints alleging violations of state ethics laws; to penalize violators of state ethics laws; to sponsor ethics training and informational programs, and to explain compliance guidelines; to issue advisory opinions, which apply ethics laws to specific situations of fact; to require regulatory agencies of the executive branch to develop rules for the commission's approval that limit the acceptance of benefits from regulated entities; to recommend salary levels for members of the legislature and the lieutenant governor, which are submitted to the voters at the next general election; to set the per diem paid to legislators and to the lieutenant governor. The Ethics Commission was preceded by a Public Servant Standards of Conduct Advisory Committee, and a State Ethics Advisory Commission. These records consist of copies of minutes and agenda of meetings, organizational charts, Texas State Ethics Advisory Commission opinions, candidate-officeholder and specific-purpose political committee contribution and expenditure reports, state officers personal financial statements, and administrative correspondence. Overall dates are 1979-2008, bulk 1992-1996.

Copies of minutes and agenda of meetings of the Texas Ethics Commission Transition Task Force, dating October-December 1991, are following by minutes and agenda for the Texas Ethics Commission dating 1992-2008. The summary minutes include the following: advisory opinion requests (AORs), usually with the question and a summary answer (these form the most voluminous part of the minutes); commission comments, executive director comments, and comments from the public; discussion and action on proposed rules; briefings, discussion, and possible action on a variety of other items, including the budget, the strategic plan, the electronic database, interagency contracts, training programs for state employees and members of the legislature, an imaging system to replace the microfilming of archived records, requests to waive certain fines assessed for late filings of reports, etc. No minutes have been located by the Ethics Commission or by the State Archives for either the Public Servant Standards of Conduct Advisory Committee, or the State Ethics Advisory Commission, predecessors of the Ethics Commission created in 1981 and 1983.

There are five organizational charts of the Texas Ethics Commission, dating July 2001-February 2003. Names of all 35 to 36 employees are included in these one-page charts, along with their job titles.

Advisory opinions consist of copies of 29 ethics advisory opinions issued by the Texas State Ethics Advisory Commission in 1984 and 1986, the bulk of them from 1984. Each opinion contains a brief statement of the request for opinion, the opinion itself, and a summary of the opinion, and is signed by the chairman of the State Ethics Advisory Commission. The opinions concern such issues as lobbying activities and expenses, campaign contributions, travel, personal use of state equipment, amendments to financial statements made after filing, loans by candidates to political action committees, use of political contributions to purchase a residence, compensation for services rendered by the executive director of a state regulatory agency to an out-of-state industry in the regulated field, etc.

The largest groups of records are the ethics filings, including contribution and expenditure reports of candidates and officeholders, and state officers personal financial statements. Contribution and expenditure reports of candidates and officeholders, and of specific-purpose political committees, with associated correspondence, date 1979-1996, bulk 1992-1994. Included are accounts from primary, general, and special elections. The following officeholders (and candidates for those positions) are required to file these reports with the Texas Ethics Commission: statewide elective offices (governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state comptroller, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner, railroad commissioners, supreme court justices, and court of criminal appeals judges); state senators and state representatives; courts of appeals justices; members of the State Board of Education; district judges; district attorneys from multi-county districts; and certain county chairs of political parties. Each candidate, campaign manager, or assistant campaign manager was required to keep a record of all funds received and disbursed. The reports include the following: names and addresses of all contributors of more than $50 aggregate, plus the amounts; names and addresses of all persons and entitites receiving expenditures of more than $50 aggregate, plus the amounts and the purposes; and a summary.

State officers personal financial statements date 1992-1996. They consist of financial disclosure statements of the following: state officers (i.e., elected officers at the state or district level, appointed officers, salaried appointed officers, appointed officers of major state agencies, and executive heads of state agencies), candidates for elective office, and party chairmen. Files report the financial activities of the individual, and of his spouse and dependent children (if the individual had actual control over that financial activity during the preceding calendar year).

Administrative correspondence dates 1997-2000 and undated, with the bulk of it from 1999. It includes correspondence, memoranda, a request for offer (RFO), vendor's responses to the RFO, reports and studies, surveys, bill analyses, notes, spreadsheets, and audiocassettes of Texas Senate hearings. All of this material relates to the development of an electronic filing system.

Restrictions on Access

Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public Information Act exceptions including, but not limited to, bank account numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.136); driver's license numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.130); and home addresses and phone numbers of government employees or officials (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.117), an archivist must review Candidate-officeholder and specific-purpose political committee contribution and expenditure reports and State officers personal financial statements before they can be accessed for research. The records may be requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an archivist or submit a request by mail (Texas State Library and Archives Commission, P. O. Box 12927, Austin, TX 78711), fax (512-463-5436), email (Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us), or see our web page (http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/agency/customer/pia.html). Include enough description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist to accurately identify and locate the information. If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can access the remainder of the records.

Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives search room. Materials will be retrieved from and returned to storage areas by staff members.

Appraisal Information

Texas State Archives staff completed an appraisal of the Texas Ethics Commission records in May 2000, revised June 2006. (This appraisal report is available online at http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/appraisal/txethics.html, and also in the search room of the Texas State Archives.) Thirteen series on the agency’s retention schedule were determined to be archival: Legislative appropriation requests, Strategic Plans, Organization charts, Meeting agenda and minutes, General-purpose political committee contribution and expenditure reports, Candidate-officeholder and specific-purpose political committee contribution and expenditure reports, State officers personal financial statements, Speaker of the House reports, Correspondence - administrative, Filer notebook lists, Sworn complaint orders - non-confidential, Training materials, and Published ethics opinions.

The archival requirement for the legislative appropriation requests, strategic plans, and organization charts is fulfilled by sending copies of the legislative appropriation requests and strategic plans (which contain organization charts) to the State Publications Depository Program of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. The Texas Documents Collection holds legislative appropriations requests dated 1992-2005 (for FY 1994-FY 2007), and strategic plans for the years 1992-1998 (published in 1992), 1995-1999 (published in 1994), 1998-2003 (published in 1998), and 2001-2005 (published in 2000), received via the State Publications Depository Program.

Filer notebook lists, Sworn complaint orders - non-confidential, and Training materials have so far not been transferred by the Ethics Commission to the Texas State Archives. Speaker of the House reports have been transferred to the Texas State Archives by the Secretary of State, but not by the Ethics Commission.

Accruals

The Ethics Commission transfers copies of minutes and agenda to the Texas State Archives regularly, usually on an annual basis.

Other Formats for the Records

The Texas Ethics Commission periodically mounts its recent minutes and agenda on the agency web site (http://www.ethics.state.tx.us/tec/meetings.htm), earlier ones as HTM files, later ones as PDF files. As of February 2009, this includes minutes and agenda from Commission meetings dating from January 2005 to the present.

Location of Originals

The record copies of minutes and agenda are maintained by the Texas Ethics Commission.

Texas State Ethics Advisory Commission opinions, 1984, 1986, bulk 1984,
fractional

Among the duties of the Texas Ethics Commission are to issue advisory opinions, which apply ethics laws to specific situations of fact. The commission was preceded by a Public Servant Standards of Conduct Advisory Committee, created in 1981 to expire in 1983; and a State Ethics Advisory Commission in 1983. These records consist of copies of 29 ethics advisory opinions issued by the Texas State Ethics Advisory Commission in 1984 and 1986, the bulk of them (1984-1 thru 27) from 1984. Each opinion contains a brief statement of the request for opinion, the opinion itself, and a summary of the opinion, and is signed by the chairman of the State Ethics Advisory Commission. The opinions concern such issues as lobbying activities and expenses, campaign contributions, travel, personal use of state equipment, amendments to financial statements made after filing, loans by candidates to political action committees, use of political contributions to purchase a residence, compensation for services rendered by the executive director of a state regulatory agency to an out-of-state industry in the regulated field, etc.

These opinions were transferred because of gaps in the holdings of the Texas Documents Collection of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, which has some, but not all of these opinions. The Texas Documents Collection also has Ethics Advisory Opinions, Number 1 thru 426, issued by the Texas Ethics Commission, 1992-2000.

The Texas Register published summaries of the following Advisory Opinion Requests (in 1983, 1984, and 1986):

House Ethics Committee: AOR-68-1 thru 5 (in 1983) and AOR 68-6 thru 7 (in 1984);
State Ethics Advisory Commission: AOR-1983-1 (in 1983); AOR-1984-1 thru 29, 35 thru 37, and 39 thru 40 (in 1984); AOR-1986-1 and 2 (in 1986).

The Texas Register published summaries of the following Advisory Opinions (all in 1984):

House Ethics Committee: AO-68-2, and 4 thru 7;
State Ethics Advisory Commission: AO-1983-1 and 2, and 6 thru 27.

There is also an online searchable (and browseable) database at http://www.ethics.state.tx.us/legal/AT-eaosquery.html (accessed February 2009).

Historical Notes

From the beginning of its existence, one of the fundamental duties of the Texas Ethics Commission has been to issue ethics advisory opinions. If a person subject to one of the ethics laws requests (in writing) an opinion on any of those laws "in regard to a specified existing or hypothetical factual situation," the Ethics Commission is required to issue such a written opinion. The name of the person requesting the opinion is confidential. The Ethics Commission may also issue a written advisory opinion on its own initiative. Furthermore, "the commission shall number and categorize each advisory opinion issued and annually shall compile a summary of its opinions in a single reference document." (Texas Government Code, Sections 571.091 and 571.095)

The laws and regulations that the commission enforces include those concerning the following: political contributions and expenditures and political advertising; lobbyist activities; financial disclosure and conduct of state officers and employees; the contributions and expenditures for the race for speaker of the house; the contributions to Governor-for-a-Day and Speaker's Reunion Day ceremonies; representation before state agencies by legislators or former agency board members; and financial statements of judges of statutory county courts or statutory probate courts who elect to file with the Ethics Commission in lieu of the county clerk. The advisory opinions which the commission issues concern these laws as well as laws governing bribery, corrupt influence, and abuse of office.

The Ethics Commission was preceded by a Public Servant Standards of Conduct Advisory Committee, created in 1981 to expire in 1983 (House Bill 3, 67th Legislature, Regular Session); and an 11-member State Ethics Advisory Commission (House Bill 2154, 68th Legislature, Regular Session, 1983), which issued ethics advisory opinions. In addition, the House Ethics Committee (of the Texas Legislature) was authorized to issue ethics advisory opinions, some of which were summarized in the Texas Register in 1983 and 1984.

Candidate-officeholder and specific-purpose political committee contribution and expenditure reports, 1979-1996, bulk 1992-1994,
45 cubic ft.

One of the primary functions of the Texas Ethics Commission is to receive and make available to the public the various ethics filings required by Texas law, including the contribution and expenditure reports of candidates for public office, and the specific-purpose committees created to support (or oppose) the election of those candidates. These records are those contribution and expenditure reports of candidates and officeholders, and of specific-purpose political committees, with associated correspondence, dating 1979-1996, bulk 1992-1994. Included are accounts from primary, general, and special elections. The following officeholders (and candidates for those positions) are required to file these reports with the Texas Ethics Commission: statewide elective offices (governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state comptroller, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner, railroad commissioners, supreme court justices, and court of criminal appeals judges); state senators and state representatives; courts of appeals justices; members of the State Board of Education; district judges; district attorneys from multi-county districts; and certain county chairs of political parties. Each candidate, campaign manager, or assistant campaign manager was required to keep a record of all funds received and disbursed. The types of reports include the following: 30th day before an election, 8th day before an election or runoff, July 15, January 15, final report, 48 hour report required by modified reporting procedure, 15th day after appointment of campaign treasurer by an officeholder, and annual report of unexpended contributions.

The first page of each report gives the following information: the first full name and address of the candidate or officeholder; office held or office sought; name, address, and telephone number of campaign treasurer; date and type of election if applicable; date span and type of report; full name and address of political committee accepting political contributions or making political expenditures for the filer, and full name and address of the committee's campaign treasurer. The contributions portion of each report includes the following information: full name and complete address of each person from whom contributions in an aggregate amount of more than $50 were received, the dates, and the amounts (divided among money, loans of money, or in-kind contributions); full name of financial institutions and guarantors of loans, date of loan, amount, and interest rate if below prime. The expenditures portion of each report includes the following information: full name and complete address of each person or entity to whom any expenditure in an aggregate amount of more than $50 were made, the date, the amount, and the purpose. Finally is a summary, including the following: the total of all contributions received aggregating $50 or less; the total of all expenditures made aggregating $50 or less; and the grand totals of all contributions and expenditures for the reporting period.

Correspondence is between the candidate/officeholder or his/her campaign treasurer and the staff of the Ethics Commission, and (in addition to simple cover letters) concerns late filings, failure to file, the consequences of those actions, and other issues. Also included are occasional statements of organization from political action committees (PACs), usually accompanied by a cover letter from the PAC to the candidate; these account for most of the earliest documentation prior to 1992. Documents prior to the creation of the Texas Ethics Commission in 1992 were maintained by the Disclosure Filings Section of the Office of the Texas Secretary of State.

Arrangement

These records are arranged by the creating agency alphabetically by last name of candidate/officeholder. Within each file records are usually in reverse chronological order. Specific purpose committee reports are located immediately after the report of the candidate/officeholder for whose support that committee was created.

These records were transferred to the Archives and Information Services Division of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission by the Texas Ethics Commission on May 31, 2005.

Restrictions on Access

Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public Information Act exceptions including, but not limited to, bank account numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.136); driver's license numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.130); and home addresses and phone numbers of government employees or officials (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.117), an archivist must review these records before they can be accessed for research. The records may be requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an archivist or submit a request by mail (Texas State Library and Archives Commission, P. O. Box 12927, Austin, TX 78711), fax (512-463-5436), email (Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us), or see our web page (http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/agency/customer/pia.html). Include enough description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist to accurately identify and locate the information. If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can access the remainder of the records.

Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives search room. Materials will be retrieved from and returned to storage areas by staff members.

State officers personal financial statements, 1992-1996,
67 cubic ft.

One of the primary functions of the Texas Ethics Commission is to receive and make available to the public the various ethics filings required by Texas law, including State officers personal financial statements. Personal financial statements were created to comply with state ethics legislation providing for the disclosure of financial assets and possible conflicts of interest of elected, salaried, or appointed officers and executive heads of state agencies, and candidates for elected office. These filings help to ensure public accountability from state officers, encouraging high ethical standards by means of public scrutiny of the appropriate records.

These records consist of financial disclosure statements of the following: state officers (i.e., elected officers at the state or district level, appointed officers, salaried appointed officers, appointed officers of major state agencies, and executive heads of state agencies), candidates for elective office, and party chairmen. The records date 1992-1996. Files report the financial activities of the individual, and of his spouse and dependent children (if the individual had actual control over that financial activity during the preceding calendar year). Financial activities include the following types of assets and liabilities: (1) a list of all sources of occupational income, identified by employer, or if self-employed, by the nature of the occupation; (2) identification by name and the category of the number of shares of stock of any business entity held or acquired, and if sold, the category of the amount of net gain or loss realized from the sale; (3) a list of all bonds, notes, and other commercial paper held or acquired, and if sold, the category of the amount of net gain or loss realized from the sale; (4) identification of each source and the category of the amount of income in excess of $500 derived from each source from interest, dividends, royalties, and rents; (5) identification of each guarantor of a loan and identification of each person or financial institution to whom a personal note or notes or lease agreement for a total financial liability in excess of $1,000 existed at any time during the year, and the category of the amount of the liability; (6) identification by description of all beneficial interests in real property and business entities held or acquired, and if sold, the category of the amount of the net gain or loss realized from the sale; (7) identification of a person or other organization from which the individual or the individual's spouse or dependent children received a gift of anything of value in excess of $250 and a description of each gift, except: a gift received from an individual related to the individual at any time within the second degree by consanguinity or affinity, as determined under Subchapter A, Chapter 573 of the Texas Government Code; a political contribution that was reported as required by law; and an expenditure required to be reported by a person required to be registered under Texas Government Code, Chapter 305; (8) identification of the source and the category of the amount of all income received as beneficiary of a trust and identification of each asset, if known to the beneficiary, from which income was received by the beneficiary in excess of $500; (9) identification by description and the category of the amount of all assets and liabilities of a corporation or partnership in which 50 percent or more of the outstanding ownership was held, acquired, or sold; (10) a list of all boards of directors of which the individual is a member and executive positions that the individual holds in corporations, firms, partnerships, or proprietorships, stating the name of each corporation, firm, partnership, or proprietorship and the position held; (11) identification of any person providing transportation, meals, or lodging expenses permitted under Texas Penal Code, Section 36.07(b), and the amount of those expenses, other than expenditures required to be reported under Texas Government Code, Chapter 305; and (12) any partnership, joint venture, or other business association, excluding a publicly held corporation, in which both the state officer and a lobbyist registered under Texas Government Code, Chapter 305 have an interest.

Administrative correspondence, 1997-2000, undated, bulk 1999,
1 cubic ft.

One of the primary functions of the Texas Ethics Commission is to receive and make available to the public the various ethics filings required by Texas law. The 1991 enabling legislation required that the Texas Ethics Commission "establish an electronic data base composed of statements and reports filed with the commission," cross-referenced, and subject to online public access. It also allowed the commission to "develop computer software to facilitate the discharge of its statutory duties." The commission has scanned paper copies of the most frequently requested filings onto optical disks, and accepts electronic filings. Passed 1999, House Bill 2611 (76th Texas Legislature, Regular Session), requires certain candidates, officeholders, and political committees to file reports of contributions and expenditures electronically. This series of administrative correspondence specifically relates to that function.

These records include correspondence, memoranda, a request for offer (RFO), vendor's responses to the RFO, reports and studies, surveys, bill analyses, notes, spreadsheets, and audiocassettes of Texas Senate hearings. All of this material relates to the development of an electronic filing system. Dates covered are 1997-2000 and undated, with the bulk of it from 1999.
