1 Tex. Admin. Code § 20.217 - Modified Reporting
(a) An opposed
candidate who does not intend to accept more than the aggregate amount of
political contributions or make more than the aggregate amount of political
expenditures (excluding filing fees) specified in Tex. Elec. Code §
254.181(a),
as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC §
18.31 in connection with any
election in an election cycle may choose to file under the modified
schedule.
(b) Under the modified
schedule, an opposed candidate is not required to file pre-election reports or
a runoff report.
(c) To select
modified filing, a candidate must file a declaration of intent not to exceed
more than the amount of political contributions or political expenditures
(excluding filing fees) specified in Tex. Elec. Code §
254.182(a),
as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC §
18.31 in connection with the
election. The declaration must include a statement that the candidate
understands that if either one of those limits is exceeded, the candidate will
be required to file pre-election reports and, if necessary, a runoff
report.
(d) A declaration under
subsection (c) of this section is filed with the candidate's campaign treasurer
appointment.
(e) To file under the
modified schedule, a candidate must file the declaration required under
subsection (c) of this section no later than the 30th day before the first
election to which the declaration applies. A declaration filed under subsection
(c) of this section is valid for one election cycle only.
(f) If an opposed candidate exceeds either of
the limits specified in Tex. Elec. Code §
254.182(a),
as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC §
18.31, the candidate must file
reports under §
20.213 of this title (relating to
Pre-election Reports) and §

Runoff Report).
(g) If an opposed
candidate exceeds either of the limits specified in Tex. Elec. Code §
254.182(a),
as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC §
18.31 after the 30th day before the
election, the candidate must file a report not later than 48 hours after
exceeding the limit. If this is the candidate's first report filed, the report
covers a period that begins on the day the candidate's campaign treasurer
appointment was filed. Otherwise, the period begins on the first day after the
period covered by the last report required by this subchapter (other than a
special pre-election report or a special session report) or Subchapter D of
this chapter (relating to Reporting Requirements for an Officeholder Who Does
Not Have a Campaign Treasurer Appointment on File). The period covered by the
report continues through the day the candidate exceeded one of the limits for
modified reporting.
