Texas Comptroller Transparency Star Program

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Transparency Stars program recognizes local governments for going above and beyond in their transparency efforts. The City of Kress strives to ensure that residents are able to readily access financial summary information and City open records.

The program recognizes government entities that accomplish the following:

• Open their books in the areas of traditional finances, contracts and procurement, economic development, public pensions, debt obligations, and open government and compliance.
• Provide clear and meaningful financial information by posting financial documents, as well as thorough summaries, visualizations, downloadable data and other relevant information.

To learn more about the program, please visit Texas Comptroller Transparency Star program website.

Transparency promotes accountability and provides information to the citizens of Kress about their local government. Residents should stay informed and gain knowledge about how the City of Kress operates, city revenue sources and amounts, city spending and debts. This helps to ensure that funds are spent efficiently and decisions are made openly on record. Our citizens are encourage to attend City Council public meetings, review all policies, budgets, agendas, and ordinances.
