On this day in 1835, the provisional government of Texas established the Texas Rangers—a frontier fighting force that would gain worldwide recognition during the Mexican War, where they earned the nickname “los diablos Tejanos.” Today, the Rangers continue their legacy as an elite investigative division of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

🚨 New Texas Law Alert: SB 140 Is Here. Are You Ready?

Texas just made big changes to the Public Information Act, and if your business works with state or local government, you need to pay attention.

SB 140 expands who’s subject to open records laws. That means private companies doing business with the government could now be required to disclose more than expected.

📄 What’s changing?

If your business receives public funds to perform public functions, you're likely subject to new disclosure obligations.

This includes nonprofits and contractors with state or local agencies.

✅ Whether you're drafting a new contract or revisiting old ones, it’s time to update your language and your expectations.
