Lobbyist Registration

Lobbyist Registration


Individuals and parties being asked to register as a lobbyist with Dallas County include any individual, corporation, firm, association, or group that receives compensation in an amount of at least $200 per calendar quarter that is paid, received, or reimbursed in the past, present, or future in return for or in connection with providing lobbying services or makes an expenditure, excluding one's own travel, food, or lodging expenses in an amount of at least $200 per calendar quarter in association with the provision of lobbying services.  Unpaid volunteers, individuals representing only themselves, media representatives on matters of general public interest, and governmental entities wishing to discuss matters related to their own governmental interest are not being asked to register as lobbyists.
