Texas. State Preservation Board

The Texas State Preservation Board was created in 1983 by Senate Bill 147, 68th Legislature, Regular Session. The Board is composed of the Governor, who acts as chair, the Lieutenant Governor, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Additionally, the Governor appoints one member, and the Lieutenant Governor and Speaker each appoint one member from their respective chambers. The appointed members serve two-year terms.

The enabling legislation creating the Preservation Board also created a Permanent Advisory Committee to assist the Board. It was composed of the Executive Director of the Historical Commission, Chairman of the Antiquities Committee, Director of the Library and Archives Commission, Director of the Commission on the Arts, and three citizens, one each appointed by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House. The Committee assisted in the development of the annual budget and work plan, the master plan, and collection policy and furnishings plan, and made recommendations concerning Board approval of these documents. This committee was abolished in 1995 by Senate Bill 1428, 74th Legislature, Regular Session.
