Texas AG Demands Financial Records from 1,000+ Cities-Here’s Where San Angelo Stands

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is requesting financial records from more than 1,000 cities across the state, including San Angelo, as part of a push for transparency and compliance with new audit laws. The request stems from Senate Bill 1851, which requires municipalities to complete and publish annual financial audits or face limits on raising property taxes. City officials say San Angelo has already complied, approving its audit on March 17 and submitting the required documents to the attorney general’s office. Paxton says the effort is aimed at ensuring cities follow the law and minimize the tax burden on residents.
