The Texas State Board of Control was created in 1919 by the
Thirty-sixth Texas Legislature (Senate Bill 147, Regular Session), becoming
operational on January 1, 1920. The Board was composed of three members,
serving six-year overlapping terms, appointed by the Governor with concurrence
of the Senate. The Board elected a chair. The legislation which created the
Board also abolished several agencies and offices, transferring their duties to
the Board of Control. Offices abolished were the State Expert Printer, State
Board of Public Printing, State Purchasing Agent, Superintendent of Public
Buildings and Grounds, State Inspector of Masonry, and the Boards of Managers
of each of the state eleemosynary institutions.
The Board of Control had numerous responsibilities. The Board served
as the purchasing agent for state departments, institutions, and agencies,
approving requisition orders, purchasing supplies, contracting for printing,
and transferring supplies between agencies, etc. The Board also had control and
supervision of the state eleemosynary institutions (state schools, hospitals
and sanatoriums, orphanages, juvenile training schools), the Alabama-Coushatta
Indian Reservation, and the State Cemetery. It established rules and
regulations for the state eleemosynary institutions and established hospital
districts for the state hospitals. Additionally, the Board had joint
supervision and maintenance of certain historical state parks (including San
Jacinto, Goliad, and Fannin State Parks); and had charge of the custody and
maintenance of the Capitol and other State office buildings and their adjoining
grounds. In this capacity the Board contracted for all construction, repairs,
and improvements made for the eleemosynary institutions and other state
agencies; designed and prepared the plans and specifications used in
construction projects and machinery and equipment repairs; leased public
grounds; rented offices and buildings when needed for state agencies; sold
property of the state when no longer needed; and prepared the biennial
appropriation budget for the state. These were the primary functions of the
Board. Additional duties included administering child welfare activities;
supervising the printing and manufacture of cigarette tax stamps; providing
photostat (and later microfilm) services and typewriter repair services to
state agencies; and maintaining the Bureau of Records as a temporary depository
for the permanent records of the state. The Texas Relief Commission was added
to the Board in 1934 (House Bill 1, 43rd Legislature, 3rd Called Session) and
the Old Age Assistance Commission was added in 1936 (House Bill 8, 44th
Legislature, 3rd Called Session). In some instances Board chairmen or members
were appointed to or served on other state boards or commissions. In the 1930s
the Chairman of the Board, Claude Teer, was appointed to the Locating and
Building Board of the State Tuberculosis Sanatorium for Negroes (upon
completion, this sanatorium was turned over to the Board of Control). In the
1940s, Hall Logan, Board member and later Board chairman, also served as the
Acting Director of the Postwar Economic Planning Commission.
Over the years, many of the duties of the Board were transferred to
other agencies. In 1939 the 46th Legislature (Senate Bill 36, Regular Session)
created the Texas State Department of Public Welfare, transferring welfare and
assistance responsibilities of the Board to that Department. In 1949 control of
all eleemosynary institutions was transferred to the Texas Board for State
Hospitals and Special Schools and the Texas Youth Development Council (House
Bill 1, 51st Legislature, Regular Session). Additional legislation in 1949
(House Bill 120, 51st Legislature, Regular Session) transferred control and
custody of all state historical parks, except the San Jacinto State Park and
Memorial Tower, Fannin State Park, and the Battleship Texas, to the control and
custody of the Texas State Parks Board. Legislation in 1951 transferred
preparation of the biennial appropriation budget and all related budget
functions to the Governor's Office (Senate Bill 413, 52nd Legislature, Regular
Session).
The Board initially established several divisions to handle its
responsibilities--Division of Purchasing; Division of Public Printing; Division
of Auditing; Division of Eleemosynary Institutions; Division of Design,
Construction and Maintenance; and Division of Estimates and Appropriations. The
Division of Child Welfare and the Centennial Division were later added and
others were created (and consolidated or abolished) as needed. As the Board
lost many of its responsibilities in the 1940s and 1950s, many of these
divisions were abolished. By the mid-1950s the Board's divisions reflected its
restructured roles of purchasing-related activities; construction, maintenance,
and repairs; oversight; and other duties. In 1956 the Board was organized into
the Main Division, Purchasing Division, Division of Printing, Claims Division,
Design and Construction Division, Division of Buildings and Grounds, and
Cigarette Stamp Tax Purchaser (not actually a division). By 1970 additional
divisions reflected the Board's role of providing security and centralized
services to state agencies. These included providing telephone and mail
services, operating a centralized supply store, and performing property
inventories. Divisions in 1972 were the Purchasing Division, Centralized
Services Division, Automatic Data Processing Division, Building and Property
Services Division, and the Security Division.
In 1953 the Board of Control was reorganized (Senate Bill 77, 53rd
Legislature, Regular Session). The Board still maintained three members,
appointed by the Governor to six year overlapping terms, but the chair was now
appointed by the Governor. Also, an Executive Director was hired to handle
administrative and other duties. The duties and responsibilities of the Board
remained the same. The Board of Control was abolished in 1979 (House Bill 1673,
66th Legislature, Regular Session); its duties and responsibilities were
transferred to the newly created Texas State Purchasing and General Services
Commission. In 1991, the agency was renamed the General Services Commission. In
2001, the agency wasabolished and replaced by the Building and Procurement
Commission, with some functions transferring to other agencies (Senate Bill
311, 77th Legislature, Regular Session). In 2007 the agency was renamed the
Texas Facilities Commission and its functions not related to state facilities
were transferred to the Texas Comptroller's Office (House Bill, 3560, 80th
Legislature, Regular Session). The Texas Facilities Commission retained the
functions of building construction and maintenance and purchasing for state
facilities/agencies.

The primary functions of the Texas State Board of Control were
controling and supervising the state eleemosynary institutions (state schools,
hospitals and sanitoriums, orphanages, juvenile training schools), the
Alabama-Coushatta Indian Reservation, the Confederate Homes, and the State
Cemetery; serving as the purchasing agent for state institutions and agencies;
having joint supervision and maintenance of certain historical parks; and
having charge of the custody and maintenance of the Capitol and other state
office buildings and grounds. Types of records include specifications for
construction projects undertaken by the Texas State Board of Control that were
sent out on bid (bid proposals), blueprints, original contracts, bonds, deeds
and easements, reports, legislative bills, correspondence, contractor's
estimates, receipts, job orders, and photographs. Records are dated 1854, 1885,
1909-1949, 1967, and undated.
Specifications and Blueprints include
construction, repairs, or remodeling at several state eleemosynary
institutions, mostly state hospitals (1938-1940s and undated); repairs and
improvements at the State Capitol Building or grounds (1932-1939); construction
of the State of Texas Building for the Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas
(1935-1936); additions and improvements to the Laboratory and Pasteur Building
at the State Department of Health (1939-1944); repairs to the Governor's
Mansion (1938); remodeling the State Department of Public Welfare Building at
Camp Mabry (about 1940); constructing buildings and other improvements for the
Thirty-Sixth Division Aviation, Texas National Guard; and construction of the
State Finance Building (1967).
Contracts and related records consist of
deeds for property acquisition and rights-of-way easements, leases, contracts
for remodeling and new construction projects, repairs, installation of plumbing
and heating systems, electrical work, utilities, food purchases for state
institutions, and other contracts. These records largely concern eleemosynary
institutions, with a few items concerning historic parks, the Governor's
Mansion, the Texas State Capitol, and other state properties or concerns, such
as the State Cemetery.
Records on monuments relate to the
bidding by private contractors and the construction of ten historical monuments
under two contracts for the Texas State Board of Control during the Centennial
era, 1937-1937.
These series are part of the
Texas State Board of Control records
finding aid. They were removed from that finding aid due to the electronic file
size limitations imposed by the online finding aid web site (TARO). If you are
reading this in paper, the overall Board of Control finding aid is found at a
separate divider within the binder.
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily
reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to
provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.

A primary function of the Texas State Board of Control was having
charge of the custody and maintenance of the Capitol and other state buildings,
including the eleemosynary institutions. This series consists of specifications
for construction projects undertaken by the Texas State Board of Control that
were sent out on bid (bid proposals), blueprints, beam schedules, and notes on
construction projects. Dates covered are 1932-1949 and 1967, and undated.
Projects include construction, repairs, or remodeling at several state
eleemosynary institutions, mostly state hospitals (1938-1940s and undated);
repairs and improvements at the State Capitol Building or grounds (1932-1939);
construction of the State of Texas Building for the Texas Centennial Exposition
in Dallas (1935-1936); additions and improvements to the Laboratory and Pasteur
Building at the State Department of Health (1939-1944); repairs to the
Governor's Mansion (1938); remodeling the State Department of Public Welfare
Building at Camp Mabry (about 1940); constructing buildings and other
improvements for the Thirty-Sixth Division Aviation, Texas National Guard; and
construction of the State Finance Building (1967). |
|
Contracts and some specifications for early construction projects
of the Board (mostly before 1933) can be found in the series
Contracts and related records.

Contracts and related records,
1854, 1885, 1909-1933,
1940, bulk 1920-1928,
4.5 cubic ft. |
|
The primary functions of the Texas State Board of Control were
controlling and supervising the state eleemosynary institutions (state schools,
hospitals and sanitariums, orphanages, juvenile training schools), the
Alabama-Coushatta Indian Reservation, the Confederate Homes, and the State
Cemetery; serving as the purchasing agent for state institutions and agencies;
having joint supervision and maintenance of certain historical parks; and
having charge of the custody and maintenance of the Capitol and other state
office buildings and grounds. These records are original contracts,
specifications, bonds, deeds and easements, reports, and legislative bills,
dating 1854, 1885, 1909-1933, 1940, the bulk dating 1920-1928. There are deeds
for property acquisition and rights-of-way easements, leases, contracts for
remodeling and new construction projects, repairs, installation of plumbing and
heating systems, electrical work, utilities, food purchases for state
institutions, and other contracts. These records largely concern eleemosynary
institutions, with a few items concerning historic parks, the Governor's
Mansion, the Texas State Capitol, and other state properties or concerns, such
as the State Cemetery. A few of the jackets are empty, a few others have just a
piece of paper with a name and a date, generally in the 1940s, likely
signifying when the document was removed. |
|
Contracts of particular note that do not concern the construction
of or supplies for eleemosynary institutions include item # 436, the contract
for the removal of prominent Texans from their burial grounds to the State
Cemetery and the erection of monuments for those graves. Several other
contracts also concern the erection of monuments at the State Cemetery. There
are also several contracts for work done at the Texas State Capitol and the
grounds, including one for building a fountain at the mineral well on the
grounds (# 272, 1928), installing a temperature control system (# 79, 1916),
and rebuilding a lake on the grounds (# 206, 1927). |
|
Deeds of particular note include item # 138, a certified copy of
the warranty deed for the San Jacinto Battlefield, 1909; item # 262, a copy of
the deed purchasing land for the interment of General Edward Burleson, 1854;
and item # 215, copy of deeds of land to the San Antonio State Hospital, 1885.
A related document is item # 356, a memorandum re: lands supposed to be owned
by Rusk State Hospital, dating about 1920. A few maps are also present, being
plats of state lands or easements. |
|
A few reports are present that are worth noting because they are
not deeds or contracts, but were filed in this numerical system by the Board,
usually because they were related to a deed or contract. Item # 30 is a report
of an investigation at Rusk State Hospital re: employee thefts, dating 1923.
The report contains the bill by the detective agency hired to do the
investigating. Item # 101A is a report to the 36th Legislature by the Locating
Committee of the Board to locate and erect the Northwest Texas Asylum for the
Insane (Wichita Falls State Hospital), about 1918. The contracts issued to
build the hospital follow the report. Item # 271 consists of sworn statements
of painters working at the Capitol at the time of an accident when a painter
fell while working on the dome, dating 1922. Item # 371 is a report of the Iron
Ore Committee (composed of legislators) to investigate the iron foundry at Rusk
State Hospital, 1926. Item # 467 is a packet of correspondence between the
Board and Rusk State Hospital regarding the hospital's request to sell timber
from its lands and it includes an attorney general's opinion, dating 1926.
Copies of two legislative bills from 1930 are also present, concerning the
custodianship of state property by the Board (House Bill 58) and the lease of
state-owned lands for oil and gas and agricultural purposes (Senate Bill
94). |
|
The Executive Director's files
series contains deeds and contracts for several Texas Centennial projects and
for some of the historic state parks, primarily San Jacinto State Park. The
series Records on monuments contains contracts for
construction of historical monuments, 1935-1937. |
|
Specifications for a few construction projects dating after 1932
can be found in the series Specifications and
blueprints. |
|
This series is part of the
Texas State Board of Control records
finding aid. It was removed from that finding aid due to the electronic file
size limitations imposed by the online finding aid web site (TARO). If you are
reading this in paper, the overall Board of Control finding aid is found at a
separate divider within the binder. |
|
Arrangement of the Records |
|
Contracts are ordered as received from the agency. The contracts
are numbered sequentially, which is generally in chronological order. Some
earlier deeds and contracts were apparently filed at later points in the
sequence. Some contracts are missing from this series. |

Records on monuments,
1935-1937,
fractional |
|
A primary function of the Texas State Board of Control was having
charge of the custody and maintenance of the Capitol and other state buildings
and grounds. The Board was also charged with the construction of some
monuments, both on the grounds of public buildings and at the State Cemetery in
Austin. Types of records include correspondence, contracts, contractor's
estimates, receipts, job orders, and photographs. Records date from 1935 to
1937 and relate to the bidding by private contractors and the construction of
historical monuments under two contracts for the Texas State Board of Control.
One contract from 1935 with the firm of Driscoll and Moritz was for a total of
eight monuments: Samuel May Williams and Valentine D. Dalton at Galveston,
Captain William Wood at the San Jacinto battleground, and five at the State
Cemetery in Austin - James W. Chance, Sterling Clack Robertson, Nestor Clay,
William Menefee, and the Reverend William Crawford. There are photographs of
the two monuments at Galveston. The second contract, signed in 1937 with
Rodriguez Brothers Memorials, was for the Jacob De Cordova and the James A.
Sylvester monuments, both at the State Cemetery in Austin. There are
photographs of these monuments as well. Contracts for other monuments at the
State Cemetery are in the series Contracts and related
records. Contracts for work on the memorials at the historic parks can
be found in the series Contracts and related
records, and the series Executive Director's
files.
