Forms
Authorization for Warrant Pickup

Each agency is required to submit the Agency Authorization for Warrant Pickup form (74-189) and to designate their preferred method for warrant distribution from the Comptroller’s office. For example:

  • The form is perpetual and must be updated whenever authorized personnel are added or removed, or the preferred distribution method changes.
  • Agencies can authorize representatives or their delivery service to pick up warrants in person at the Comptroller’s office.
  • Statewide Mail Operations in the Comptroller’s Statewide Procurement Division (SPD) can deliver warrants to agencies in Travis County. See Delivery of State Warrants for SPD’s requirements.
  • The Comptroller can mail the warrants through the U.S. Postal Service if the agency is outside Travis County.

See Payment Distribution for more details.

The DIST field on the USAS D02 Agency Profile displays the agency’s primary warrant distribution method based on the agency’s selection on this form.

The agency’s chief fiscal officer or agency head must sign the form, as well as all agency representatives and/or their delivery service employees authorized to pick up warrants.

Agencies and institutions of higher education outside Travis County whose warrants are mailed are required to submit the completed and signed page 1 of the Authorization for Warrant Pickup form (74-189). If a change is needed to your method of warrant distribution, submit both pages 1 and 2 with signatures of authorized staff and/or its delivery service employees, if applicable.

Signatures must be physically hand-written with a pen. Electronic signatures are not accepted.

Agencies must retain a copy of the completed and signed form before submitting it to the Comptroller’s office via one the following methods:

If an employee has been reported as terminating state employment but remains on the list, it will result in an audit finding.

If your agency needs to deviate from its primary warrant distribution method on a particular day, contact Payment Services the day before to coordinate.

Except as noted in Warrant Pickup Requirements, the Fiscal Management Division provides a warrant pickup window each business day from 9-11 a.m. at:
