This section addresses processing of vendor invoices and applies to payment for goods and services procured through purchase orders and not to grants procured through the TxDOT Traffic Safety Division-Behavioral Traffic Safety Section’s (TRF-BTS’s) annual request for proposal process. Vendors include marketing firms and consultants who provide goods and services in support of the Texas Behavioral Traffic Safety Program.

In processing invoices for purchase orders, TxDOT will follow steps necessary to comply with the 30-day Prompt Payment Law (Texas Government Code, Chapter 2251). These standard operating procedures were developed in order to comply with TxDOT’s policy to pay all vendors within the required 30-day time period.
