The City of Bellmead has been awarded two new Transparency Stars by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for Economic Development and Open Government & Compliance, officially recognized on October 30, 2025. 

These awards recognize the City’s continued commitment to open government, financial accountability, and public access to information beyond minimum statutory requirements. The Transparency Stars Program honors local governments across Texas for maintaining high standards of online transparency and user-friendly access to public financial data.

With these new designations, Bellmead now holds a total of four Transparency Stars, adding to its earlier recognition in Public Pensions and Debt Obligations in September 2025. 

Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock formally notified the City of both awards and noted that the City’s transparency content must be continuously updated to retain each designation.

These achievements reflect Bellmead’s ongoing dedication to responsible financial stewardship and public trust.
