Coverage and limitations
- Each record is one literal Schedule R Part V line 2 row attributed to its filer and tax period. It can aggregate multiple transactions of a type; it is not a bank transaction.
- Amount involved follows IRS valuation instructions and can represent services, property or cash. It is not necessarily the amount paid. Different rows or types can overlap and must not be summed as unique transfers.
- Missing amounts and codes remain missing. Combined, abbreviated or unusual codes are preserved without guessing or dividing their amount.
- These rows do not supply counterparty EINs. Name matches to other schedules or sources remain research leads, not verified identities or ownership.
- Rows supplying only the organization-name field remain filing notes and are excluded from counterparty name matching. They do not establish that a transaction occurred.

- Each row is a dated filer statement in Schedule I Part II for a domestic organization or government. It can represent an annual recipient total, not an individual transfer.
- Cash and noncash measures retain different source meanings. Under IRS accrual instructions, reported grants can include present values of future-year commitments. They are not independently verified bank payments.
- The source purpose and noncash description are reproduced verbatim. A stated purpose does not independently prove outcomes; a grant does not establish ownership, lobbying, motive or wrongdoing.
- Only EINs actually provided in the recipient row support identifier branches. Missing identifiers and amounts are not inferred. A name match alone does not establish identity.
- Reporting thresholds, omissions and ingested filing coverage mean this is not all grants in Houston. Filers match current Houston registration addresses; recipients can be outside Houston.
- Part III individual assistance, recipient contact/mailing information, Form 990-PF grants and foreign-grant schedules are not included in this dataset.

- Meeting start dates can precede an action by one day in two-day sessions. Inspect the original PDF for the exact action time.
- Procedural motions, amendments and substantive approvals remain separate actions. A motion proposer or seconder is not automatically recorded as a yes vote.
- Names refer to an official role in the source minutes. Short labels are resolved only against a unique full name in the same document roster; no identity merge with current officeholders or other sources.
- Failed documents retain prior successful records and original retrieval dates. Missing/unparseable actions are disclosed, not filled in or treated as absent.
- Extraction correction: 19 preceding procedural-role labels were withdrawn from individual-vote results after review of the original minutes. No individual vote is inferred from proposing or seconding; original source retrieval dates are unchanged.

- 2026-09-24
Coverage and limitations
- Cases are reported issues, not independently confirmed conditions. Reported closure and Service Completed do not establish a repair or service quality.
- Each case is counted once by its 365 Case Number. Repeated source rows and conflicting supplied values remain visible in provenance.
- Earlier captured months keep their original observation dates; their statuses are not refreshed by a later month-to-date download.
- Source local creation dates and UTC creation timestamps are separately labeled. Closure and extraction timestamp timezone is unspecified.
- Addresses, coordinates, parcel IDs, contacts and free-form narratives are excluded from the public projection. No geographic point or requester identity is inferred.
- The original complete file is not redistributed here. A hashed literal field projection is preserved, with upstream SHA-256 and source line numbers; the official download can change.

- Record dates
- 2015-04-03 → 2029-02-22
- Retrieved
- 2026-09-24
Coverage and limitations
- These publication rows are additional evidence, not additional spending or necessarily different contracts. Do not add totals across publications.
- A correspondence requires exactly the same eleven source fields, a usable contract or order identifier, and one matching row in each complete publication. It is a computed comparison, not a source assertion of legal identity.
- A shared name alone does not create this correspondence. Missing identifiers and ambiguous or different fields remain explicit gaps.
- Contract amounts and CDBG-DR amounts are separate published measures, not confirmed payments. No ownership, motive or individual approval is inferred.
- Document links remain exactly as resolved against this publication. No failed URL is silently replaced or guessed.

- Retrieved
- 2026-09-24
Coverage and limitations
- Counts are report rows, not necessarily distinct permits, projects, buildings or approvals. Repeated project identifiers and repeated rows remain separate source evidence.
- PROJ_NAME, PRMT_DESC and FCC_CODE_DESC are the publisher’s wording. No applicant, individual approver, beneficial owner or holding company is supplied by these workbooks.
- SOLD_DATE is the publisher’s date label, not a completion date or proof of who approved the work. BEG_DATE and END_DATE are retained without inferring permit validity or approval periods.
- ESTIMATED_VAL is the source’s estimated value, not a verified contract, budget authorization or payment. Do not total repeated project rows as independent spending.
- Addresses describe project sites as published; no geocoding, municipal-boundary inclusion or ownership is inferred.
- Cached spreadsheet formula results are preserved without recalculation. Repeated headers retain their column positions. Unlabeled columns retain their values without inferred meaning.
- Only configured, successfully acquired historical workbooks are included. Current Sold Permits access and unavailable 2025 links remain separate source gaps.

Coverage and limitations

- Image-only pages remain visible in the original PDF; no OCR or inferred names are substituted for missing text.
- Links outside the newest-report batch are not fetched on this run. Previously acquired drawings remain readable with their original retrieval dates; this does not mean the live publisher removed them.
- Malformed or unsupported publisher URLs and failed downloads remain explicit. No alternate URLs are guessed or access restrictions bypassed.
