What the Texas agriculture commissioner does

The agriculture commissioner leads the Texas Department of Agriculture, whose work includes agricultural promotion, consumer protection, rural economic development, weights and measures, pesticide regulation, and nutrition programs.

Shared authority: The commissioner administers powers assigned to the department but does not control agriculture, food prices, rural economies, or federal programs alone.

How FactVote presents the public record: FactVote includes only official actions or direct statements explicitly attributed to the commissioner and does not convert department-wide outcomes into inferred personal actions.
