The Funeral Service Commission issues licenses for embalmers, funeral
directors, and funeral establishments; inspects funeral establishments; reviews
complaints; and holds disciplinary hearings. Through the Texas Deceptive Trade
Practices Act consumers can file action in court for damages from funeral
providers. The agency receives about 250 complaints a year and uses the State
Office of Administrative Hearings to hear cases. The commission regulates
approximately 5,000 licensed individuals representing 8,500 licenses, 1,200
licensed funeral establishments, and 350 provisional licenses.
The Funeral Service Commission was established as the State Board of
Embalming in 1903 (Senate Bill 76, 28th Legislature, Regular Session) to
license and regulate embalmers in containing contagious diseases that affected
public health. In 1938 the law was amended to encompass funeral directors. The
revised statute prohibited licensees from using fraud or misrepresentation in
the conduct of business, using false or misleading advertising, soliciting, and
refusing to promptly surrender a body, thus changing the agency's mission from
the protection of public health to the protection of public welfare. In 1953
the agency became the State Board of Morticians (Senate Bill 21, 53rd
Legislature, Regular Session).
With some changes, the organization and functions of the Board
remained the same until 1978, when it underwent the Sunset review process for
the first time. The Sunset Advisory Commission recommended that the board be
abolished and its responsibilities be placed within the Texas Department of
Health. After considerable debate, the legislature continued the agency,
expanding its board to nine members in 1979. Its authority to protect the
public was also expanded. In 1987 the legislature renamed the agency the Texas
Funeral Service Commission and granted it authority to assess administrative
penalties (Senate Bill 95, 70th Legislature, Regular Session). Following Sunset
review in 1991 the Legislature gave the Commission additional authority to
enforce laws regarding prepaid funerals and vital statistics and health (Senate
Bill 284, 71st Legislature, Regular Session).
The policy making body of the Funeral Service Commission is a
nine-member commission, appointed by the governor with concurrence of the
senate for overlapping, six-year terms. The initial Board consisted of five
licensed embalmers, changing to six embalmers in 1939. In 1979, the Board
expanded to nine members. Five were to be licensed embalmers or funeral
directors in the state, with a minimum of five years' consecutive experience
immediately preceding appointment. Of the five, at least three were embalmers.
The remaining four members represented the general public and could not be
subject to the board's regulation. In 1991, the composition of the Board was
changed from four to five consumer members and from five to four licensed
members, and the governor was given the responsibility for appointing the
chair. These are non-salaried positions and no member may serve more than one
term.
The agency is headed by an executive director, and as of 1996,
consisted of 10 FTE (full-time equivalent) employees.
