Vendor Status

Vendor status must be determined prior to making purchases of $500 or more from a vendor based in the State of Texas. The Vendor Search function in POINT Plus will indicate if a vendor is on hold.  If the vendor is not on hold, print the POINT Plus screen and retain with other supporting documentation.  Purchases should not be made if the vendor is on hold with the state.

Source - Texas Administrative Code (34 TAC Part 1, Chapter 5, Subchapter E, Rule 5.57):

State agencies are not allowed to do business with or make payments to entities that are on “warrant hold” (also called “credit hold” or “vendor hold”) with the State of Texas until the causing situation is resolved and the hold is lifted.
