Texas. Treasury Dept. Office of the General Counsel.

The Texas Treasury Department was headed by the state treasurer, an elected official, formerly one of the seven officers of the executive branch established by the Texas Constitution. The state treasurer was essentially the state's banker and received, invested, and cared for all money deposited to state funds and accounts; reviewed and paid all warrants issued by the comptroller of public accounts; and managed and cared for the securities deposited in trust and purchased for the state's investment funds.

A constitutional amendment in 1996 abolished the office of State Treasurer and transferred its functions to the Office of Comptroller of Public Accounts.
