About this demonstration

Agendas and notices

City secretary, city attorney

Notice of a meeting must be posted three business days before the meeting date — a rule that replaced the 72-hour one in September 2025 and is usually two days earlier than the habit it displaced. Every deadline here is counted backwards from the meeting date against a holiday calendar the city can edit, and an item's wording is checked against phrases that have already been held insufficient. The system is certain about the arithmetic and deliberately not certain about the wording.

Illustrative sample. Not a client record. Everything in here is invented and generated relative to today's date, so the deadlines are always live. No real person, property, account or case appears anywhere in it.

The rules it implements

Tex. Gov't Code § 551.043
Three business days before the meeting date, and the exceptions for statewide and multi-county bodies.
Tex. Gov't Code § 551.041
Notice of the subject of each item — where the specificity problem lives.
Tex. Gov't Code § 551.141
Action taken in violation of the chapter is voidable, which is what a defect actually costs.
HB 1522, 89th Legislature
The change itself, plus the budget agenda requirements that only bite once a year.

What the sample contains

  • Three bodies on different clocks, including one that kept the 72-hour rule
  • Meetings six weeks either side of today, generated relative to the current date
  • A holiday calendar with two local days no state list contains
  • An emergency posting whose justification does not describe an emergency
  • A budget agenda assembled from last year, missing what HB 1522 added
