Comptroller's Office records 1835-2001, undated

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/tslac/30031/30031-P.html

The Texas State Comptroller's Office is responsible for collecting state revenue, tracking state expenditures, and monitoring the financial condition of the state. These records document those duties. They include correspondence, journals and ledgers, ad valorem tax records, occupation tax records, records of bonds and stocks, appropriations, warrants, claims, organization charts, memoranda, reports, speeches, news clippings, invitations, thank-you notes, computer printouts, press releases, statistical reports, worksheets, notes, brochures, legislation, litigation briefs, indexes to correspondence and subject files, public hearings files, policy and procedure manuals, and unprocessed loose records (letters, telegrams, tax records, various forms detailing lists and reports, receipts, bonds and oaths, vouchers, warrants, tax deeds, powers of attorney, circulars, bids, drafts, pay records, inventories, claims, annual reports, and opinions). They comprise records of the Texas Comptroller's office, 1835-2001 and undated. The records described here in detail are mainly volumes, but also included are a considerable number of loose files (Republic of Texas claims, Confederate claims, Confederate pensions, some of the records of modern divisions/offices, and loose unprocessed records). All together these records document the major as well as the minor functions of the office of the Comptroller, with emphasis on the 19th and the early 20th centuries. The majority of the records document either revenues and receipts of monies by the Comptroller's Office (journals and ledgers, ad valorem tax records, occupation tax records, records of bonds and stocks, etc.); or expenditures and disbursements of monies by the Comptroller's Office (appropriations, warrants, and claims).
