About AgendaSearch
Statewide Texas public meetings — indexed and searchable.
AgendaSearch is a full-text search platform for public meeting documents published by Texas cities and counties — city councils and county commissioners courts. We collect agendas, meeting minutes, and public notices daily, then run them through advanced document processing and AI-assisted analysis — extracting clean, searchable text and identifying and tagging every individual agenda item — so you can find anything in seconds, down to the line item.
Texas Open Meetings Act requires most governmental bodies to post meeting agendas and minutes to the public. In practice, these documents are scattered across hundreds of different websites in inconsistent formats — PDFs buried in city portals, scanned images with no text layer, and pages that go dead after a year. AgendaSearch solves that.
We built this tool for the researchers, journalists, attorneys, lobbyists, and engaged citizens who need to know what local governments are doing — without spending hours clicking through municipal websites.
