In accordance with Tex. Gov’t Code §656.051 and 34 TAC §20.133, employees must be certified as a Certified Texas Contract Developer (CTCD) to engage in contract development functions for professional or scientific services contracts. CTCD training and certification is managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA). The specific course requirements and exam information can be found on the CPA’s website.

Each District and Division is responsible for tracking their employees’ compliance with these training requirements.
