The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is proud to announce the Transparency Stars program, recognizing local governments for going above and beyond in their transparency efforts. The program recognizes government entities that accomplish the following:

• open their books not only in their traditional finances but also in the areas of contracts and procurement, economic development, public pensions, and debt obligations.
• provide clear and meaningful financial information not only by posting financial documents but also through summaries, visualizations, downloadable data and other relevant information.
