Why approved bonds come first
Texas law has the design professional file plans with TDLR within 20 working days of issuing them, and before a permit or construction (Tex. Gov't Code §469.102), so by the time a project is on TABS it usually names a design firm. A bond voters approved usually comes earlier: the owner selects a design firm “on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications” (Tex. Gov't Code §2254.004), and the plans reach TDLR later. No record we read gives a selection date, so check each owner's RFQs.
Since , the Texas Bond Review Board lists 99 school-district, city and county building bonds as Carried: 60 from the May 2, 2026 election and 39 from Nov 4, 2025. Your list shows the ones within 75 miles, with each proposition's amount and purpose as BRB writes it and the district's last design firm where we have read its TABS history.

What it is, and what it isn't
It is
- Public building projects registered with TDLR within 75 miles of your office, with the design firm as filed on TABS.
- "Registered with TBAE to offer architecture" only when TBAE's own search ticks Architect.
- School, city and county building bonds voters approved since Nov 4, 2025, per the Texas Bond Review Board: each proposition's amount and purpose as BRB writes it, linked to its row.
- Bonds from a newer election stay off the list until the Bond Review Board or the county's official canvass posts a result; until then it says only how many await an official result.
- Texas only, with every line linked to the state record.
It isn't
- A list of open jobs. By law, plans are filed with TDLR before a permit or construction, so most projects on TABS already name a design firm: 88 of 102 statewide in the last 4 weeks.
- An award or a selection date. The TABS "design firm" can be an engineer, a landscape architect or a design-builder.
- A cost estimate. Costs are what the filer typed on TABS, and we leave out figures that are clearly wrong.
- A construction budget. A bond's amount is the principal on the ballot, as BRB lists it.
- Official. We're not affiliated with TDLR, the Texas Bond Review Board or TBAE.

Questions
Where does the data come from?
Four public records: the Texas Bond Review Board's bond-election dataset, TDLR's TABS project registry, the TBAE firm roster and NCES school district locations. Distances use Census reference files. Every line links to its record.
How accurate is it?
Every line links to the record it came from, so you can check it in one click. Before launch, on Nov 6, 2026, a separate check, with code that shares nothing with our engine, re-derived 30 random findings from the official records; all 30 matched. Each item also has a "Wrong record?" link that reaches a person.
Does "design firm" mean the architect they hired?
Not always. The TABS "Design Firm" can be an engineer, a landscape architect or a design-builder. We say "registered with TBAE to offer architecture" only when TBAE's own search ticks Architect.
When do you say a bond passed?
Only when the Texas Bond Review Board marks it Carried or the county posts its official canvass. Until then it reads "no official result yet". If a bond lost in the county's unofficial count, we take it off the list.
Are these open jobs?
Mostly not. Texas law has the design professional file plans with TDLR after issuing them and before a permit or construction (Gov't Code section 469.102), so most projects on TABS already name a design firm (86% in the last 4 weeks). What you get: who is designing what near you, which owners are spending, and the bonds that fund the next round. Projects with no design firm listed yet are marked.
Is it legal to use these records?
Yes. They're public records the agencies publish: the Bond Review Board dataset's license is "Public Domain", NCES files are public domain, and TABS and the TBAE roster are public with no login. Every line links to its source. We're not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Texas, TDLR, the Texas Bond Review Board or TBAE.
What areas do you cover?
Texas only. Your region is everything within 75 miles of your office, straight-line. TABS and the Bond Review Board cover the whole state. No other state is covered yet.
How fresh is it?
Your list arrives every Monday. TABS's public search is live, and we read it weekly. The Bond Review Board updates its data irregularly, so we say when a result is still missing.
My firm appears in other firms' lists. Can I remove it?
We show what TDLR's public record says, as filed. If the record is wrong, use "Wrong record?" and we'll check it against the source.
Who sees which regions I follow?
No other customer. We record how the site is used (analytics and session replay, with passwords and sign-in codes masked) to fix problems.
How do the trial and cancelling work?
14 days free, no card. After that it's $399/mo per region, billed monthly, and you can cancel anytime under Billing. Founding firms: $199/mo for 12 months. When the trial ends, exports lock but your data stays readable.
Do you know every district's last architect?
Not yet. We've read the TABS history of some districts so far, and each bond item says whether its owner's history has been read.
