34 Tex. Admin. Code § 16.303 - Awards; Grant Agreement
(a) All funding is
contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the Texas Legislature and upon
approval of a grant application by the comptroller.
(b) If the comptroller makes an award, the
comptroller shall notify the applicant of the award decision and shall provide
a grant agreement to the applicant for signature if the grant agreement was not
already submitted as part of the application.
(c) All award decisions shall be made at the
sole discretion of the comptroller and are not appealable or subject to
protest.
(d) A grant agreement
shall require the comptroller to disburse funds as soon as practicable and
shall require funds to be expended during the grant period except the agreement
may provide for the reimbursement of certain pre-award costs. Funds for
purchases are considered expended when the grant recipient is legally obligated
to expend the funds. A legal obligation to expend funds requires an effective,
binding contract. Anticipated contracts, contracts under negotiation, and the
earmarking or budgeting of funds for a specified purpose do not satisfy the
requirement for a legal obligation.
(e) Grant award payments are subject to
Government Code, §
403.055 and §
403.0551.
(f) A grant agreement must be electronically
signed by an official of the grant recipient who is authorized to bind the
grant recipient.
(g) A qualified
county may receive grants for their sheriff's office, constable's office and
prosecutor's office. A qualified county with more than one qualified
prosecutor's office may receive more than one prosecutor's grant.
