House Bill 2826 amends the Government Code to set out requirements for the procurement and approval of contingent fee contracts for legal services entered into by a political subdivision, including a requirement that the contract be reviewed and approved by the attorney general, and to subject such a contract to certain provisions governing contingent fee contracts for legal services entered into by a state governmental entity. The bill establishes that a contract entered into or an arrangement made in violation of provisions governing contingent fee contracts for legal services is void and exempts certain contracts from those provisions.
