After you make the decision to run for office, you must file a Campaign Treasurer Appointment.
This is required before you file an application for a place on the ballot, raise or spend any money for your campaign, or announce your candidacy publicly or privately.
Please be aware that becoming a candidate will trigger filing requirements. You can familiarize yourself with these requirements by consulting the appropriate campaign finance guide and filing schedule.
* Below is a list of the forms, instructions, filing schedules, and other materials we provide in order to comply with our responsibilities as a filing authority for campaign finance reports under Title 15 of the Texas Election Code.
Please do not hesitate to call the Texas Ethics Commission if you have any questions about the campaign finance laws or filing obligations.
