Texas requires E-Verify for state agencies and state contractors under Government Code 673.002. Arlington does not impose its own city-wide E-Verify mandate, but state-funded projects at AT&T Stadium and UTA must comply.
Texas Government Code Section 673.002, enacted by the 87th Legislature, requires every state agency and any contractor or subcontractor doing business with a state agency to register with and use the federal E-Verify system to confirm employment eligibility for new hires. Private Arlington employers without state contracts are not required to use E-Verify, and the city has not adopted a stricter local mandate. State-funded UTA construction projects, public-school district contracts, and any state-grant-funded stadium upgrades must verify all new employees through E-Verify.
State agencies that fail to require E-Verify in contracts can be reported to the comptroller. Contractors who falsely certify compliance risk contract termination, debarment from state work, and federal IRCA penalties up to $27,894 per unauthorized worker.
