Form 2207—General Information
(Declination of Remuneration by Elected or Appointed Officer)
The attached form is designed to meet minimal statutory filing requirements pursuant to the relevant code
provisions. This form and the information provided are not substitutes for the advice and services of an
attorney.
Commentary
A declination of remuneration is effective on the date it is filed with the office of the secretary of state.
A declination filed before a person has qualified for office may not be revoked during the term of office
to which the person is appointed or elected. A declination filed after an officer has qualified for office,
however, may be revoked at any time.
Instructions for Form
• Officer Information: Provide the name and address of the officer or prospective officer.
A document on file with the secretary of state is a public record subject to public access and
disclosure. When providing address information, use a business or post office box address
rather than a residence address if privacy concerns are an issue.
• Statement of Declination: State the office for which remuneration is declined and select the box
next to the appropriate statement indicating whether the officer declines all remuneration
associated with the office or specific remuneration. If the officer declines specific remuneration,
list the items of specific remuneration declined in the space provided.
• Execution: The officer must sign and date the form before an individual authorized to
administer an oath.
• Delivery Instructions: The statement may be mailed to the Statutory Documents Section, P.O.
Box 13550, Austin, Texas 78711-3550 or delivered to the James Earl Rudder Office Building,
1019 Brazos, Austin, Texas 78701.
