Lobby Registration Import Verifier

This verifier will describe each format error found in each line of your CSV file.
Your file will not be uploaded to the Texas Ethics Commission through this verifier.

This tool only checks the format of the data in your CSV file.

After you correct all your formatting errors found with this verifier, you can import your CSV file into the Lobby registration filing application. After you successfully import your CSV file into the application, you can select “Check For Errors” to list other problems you may have with your data, such as missing addresses.

If you are unsure what to use for your Client Compensation Ranges, see the Client Compensation Ranges below.
