Public contractors get limits on audit disputes
Texas law limits when public construction audits count as bona fide disputes under government contract payment rules. An audit does not qualify if it continues more than 60 days after the project is substantially complete. This applies only to contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2025. The rule does not itself require payment or set a payment amount.
