Questions contractors ask

Will I be charged today?

No. You enter a card to start the trial, but nothing is charged for 7 days. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.

How do I cancel?

Use the account link at the bottom of any alert email, or email txsmartbuyalerts@gmail.com. No contract and no cancellation fee.

Which bids do you send?

Newly posted solicitations on the Texas Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD), the board where Texas state agencies, including TxDOT, post their bids. We send only the ones that match the trades you pick.

I'm already on the CMBL. Why would I need this?

The CMBL sends notices from some agencies, but not every buyer is required to use it. TxDOT, for example, isn't. We check the whole ESBD every weekday and send everything for your trades in one email.

When does the email arrive?

Before 8 AM, Monday through Friday. Add txsmartbuyalerts@gmail.com to your contacts so it lands in your inbox, not spam.

Can I change my trades later?

Yes. Reply to any alert email with what you'd like added or removed.

Are you the State of Texas?

No. TX Smart Alerts is an independent service. We link you to the official state postings, so always confirm details and deadlines there.

Seven days free. It’s cheaper than your coffee.
