The Sunset Review of the
Finance Commission of Texas and Texas Department of Banking
The mission and performance of the Texas Department of Banking are under review by the Legislature as required under
the Texas Sunset Act. The Act provides that the Sunset Commission, composed of legislators and public members, peri-
odically evaluate a state agency to determine if the agency is still needed and to explore ways to ensure that the agency's
funds are well spent. Based on the recommendations of the Sunset Commission, the Texas Legislature ultimately decides
whether an agency continues to operate into the future.
The Sunset review involves three steps. First, Sunset Commission staff will evaluate the Texas Department of Banking and
issue a report in April 2018 recommending solutions to problems found. A month or so later, the Sunset Commission
will meet to hear public testimony on the agency and the recommendations of the Sunset staff. Based on public input and
the Sunset staff report, the Sunset Commission will adopt recommendations for the full Legislature to consider when it
convenes in January 2019. Please refer to the Sunset Commission website or call the office for updated information on
specific dates for these meetings.
Through the Sunset review, every Texan has the opportunity to suggest ways in which the mission and operations of the
Texas Department of Banking can be strengthened. If you would like to share your ideas about the commission, please
send an email to the address below, use the comment form on the Sunset Commission website, or contact Carissa Nash of
the Sunset staff. Suggestions are preferred by December 15, 2017, so they can be fully considered by Sunset staff.
