The Texas Comptroller announced a statewide whistleblower portal on Oct. 19 for tips about fraud, corruption, tax evasion, waste and abuse involving state tax dollars. The agency says the portal sends reports directly to investigators in its Law Enforcement Operations division.

Comal County residents can submit a detailed tip, upload supporting documents and choose to remain anonymous, according to the Comptroller. That gives residents a new way to pass along information about suspected misuse of state tax dollars or violations of state tax law.

The Comptroller’s Oct. 19 announcement describes how Texans may submit tips.

The announcement describes reports about government officials who misuse taxpayer money and businesses or nonprofits that break state tax law. Those are examples of the portal’s stated scope, not findings about any person or organization in Comal County. The release does not identify a local investigation.

The next point to watch is how the Comptroller accounts for tips and their outcomes. Residents can inspect the agency’s description of the reporting process in its Oct. 19 announcement before deciding what information or documents to submit.
