Every two years, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts’ Fiscal Management Division requires an updated Agency Authorization for Warrant Pickup form (74-189) from state agencies and institutions of higher education.
All authorizations now on file terminate at 5 p.m. on April 30, with new forms becoming effective May 1. Agencies and institutions must return the completed original authorization form to Payment Services no later than close of business April 20. If an agency’s renewal form is not on file by May 1, 2018, warrants will not be distributed for that agency.
For more information and the form, go to Authorization for Warrant Pickup.

Access to the new application must be requested through your agency's security coordinator and should be limited to human resource officers in need of specific employment-related data.
For complete information and a link to the new application, go to the State of Texas Employment History Application page.
