TxDOT has a responsibility to the public to maintain the highest ethical standards when conducting business.

TxDOT adopted its ethics policy to comply with Section 572.051(c) of the Texas Government Code.

We depend on two reporting programs, the Compliance Division and the Texas State Auditor's Office Hotline, to investigate potential fraud. Each enables employees and citizens to anonymously report suspected fraudulent activity.

TxDOT Watch

The TxDOT Watch reporting system allows individuals to anonymously report suspected unethical and illegal activities within the agency in one of two ways:

• Report incidents by visiting TxDOT Watch.
• Call toll-free (877) 769-8936.

The Texas State Auditor's Office Hotline (SAO)

• expenditures by state agencies, colleges and universities,
