Houston Independent School District (HISD), TEA district 101912. Sources were retrieved between 2026-10-06 and 2026-10-12; each track's catalog gives the exact retrieval date and URL of every file: sources/acfr/SOURCES.mdsources/budget/SOURCES.mdsources/federal_debt/SOURCES.mdsources/tea_peims/SOURCES.mdnotes/sof_history.md
How this page is organized
Sources are listed by HISD fiscal year (July 1 to June 30; FY2025 = school year 2024-25). A document is listed under the fiscal year whose figures it reports. For example, the FY2027 budget is under FY2027 even though the board adopted it in June 2026, and the 2025 property-value study is under FY2026 because tax year 2025 funds FY2026. Datasets that span many years are listed once, under "Multi-year sources".
The Status column says what kind of figure the document holds:

HISD's FY2026 ACFR and single audit had not been published when HISD's site was last checked (2026-10-08) (the FY2025 report's audit opinion was dated January 12, 2026). TEA's 2025-26 actual financial data and TAPR are also not yet published. FY2026 figures in the report therefore come from the documents below, each labeled.
