Compliance clock
What is due, and when
Computed from the fiscal year end and the return type. Federal dates are fixed by law. The state line is the general charitable solicitation rule of Texas, read from the regulator’s own guidance; exemptions vary, and the regulator’s page is the authority.

Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. May 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
State
Texas charitable solicitation registration
Texas requires registration of some charities only. Only law enforcement related organizations that solicit by telephone register with the Attorney General, and certain public safety and veterans organizations register with the Secretary of State.
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2025.
Filing history
When each return reached the IRS
From IRS records of electronically filed returns. The IRS record date is the date in the IRS’s own record of each return. It is not a legal filing date, and extensions are not public.

What public data cannot tell you
A 990 shows money in and money out. It cannot show whether programs, outcomes, funding and compliance live in one place, or how long a funder report takes to produce. The five pillars below are scored only by the organization itself.
