What the Texas land commissioner does
The elected land commissioner leads the General Land Office, which manages state lands and mineral interests, supports the Permanent School Fund, oversees coastal and disaster-recovery work, veterans programs, and state historical assets including the Alamo.
Shared authority: The commissioner works through an agency and shares authority with the Legislature, governor, federal and local partners, courts, boards, and contractors. Agency activity is not automatically a personal action.
How FactVote presents the public record: FactVote includes only official actions or direct statements explicitly attributed to the commissioner, with exact source text, and labels agency outcomes separately.
