# ATX Untangled

> Straight, source-backed help for Austin residents, no spin.

## What ATX Untangled does

ATX Untangled is a do-it-for-you service for Austin city chores, not only a checklist site. For covered requests it prepares the official paperwork, the resident reviews it, and only after the resident's explicit OK does ATX file it through the official channel. A filed request always comes back with the real agency receipt or request number as proof; no agency receipt means ATX does not claim a submission. CAPTCHAs, government logins, signatures, and payments stay with the resident. The full machine-readable capability statement is at https://atxuntangled.com/capabilities.md.
