Agency History

The Office of Comptroller of Public Accounts was initially created by the General Council of the Provisional Government of Texas on December 29, 1835, elected by the General Council and commissioned by the Governor, for the purpose of examining and approving or rejecting any claims presented to him by the Auditor (also created by this ordinance).

The Comptroller first appeared as a constitutional officer in the first state Constitution of Texas (1845), elected for a two-year term by a joint ballot of the House and Senate. A constitutional amendment in 1850 abandoned this method of selection in favor of election by the voters of the state. The term of office was increased to four years by the Constitution of 1866, returned to two years by the present Constitution of 1876, and finally increased once again to four years by a constitutional amendment adopted in 1972. (Article IV, section 1)

On April 11, 1846, the First Legislature of the State of Texas approved an act defining the duties of the Comptroller. These included the following:

  • to superintend the fiscal concerns of the state;
  • to perform such official acts as were required of the Secretary of the Treasury under the Republic of Texas, when not otherwise provided for by law;
  • to report to the Governor annually, giving an exact and complete statement of the funds of the State, of its revenues, and of the public expenditures during the preceding year, with a detailed estimate of the expenditures to be defrayed from the Treasury for the ensuing year, distinguishing between special and general appropriations;
  • to keep all accounts between Texas and the United States, and all other accounts in which the State has an interest, and to suggest plans for the improvement and management of the public revenue;
  • to examine and settle the accounts of all persons indebted to the State, to certify the amount or balance to the Treasurer, and to direct the collection of all monies due the State;
  • to audit the claims of all persons against the State in cases where provisions for the payment thereof have been made by law;
  • to draw warrants on the Treasurer for the payment of all monies directed by law to be paid out of the treasury;
  • to number each warrant and to take a receipt for each warrant from the person receiving the same;
  • to furnish the Treasurer with a monthly report of all warrants drawn;
  • to prescribe and furnish the forms to be used by all persons in the collection of the public revenue;
  • to receive and file all liens, mortgages, bonds and other sureties for money given to the State or to any officer thereof for the use of the State;
  • to close all Comptroller accounts annually, and to allow these accounts to be examined by either house of the legislature, or by any legislative committee;
  • to examine all disbursements of the Treasurer quarterly, and to cancel those warrants which have been paid;
  • to preserve the books, records, papers, and other things belonging to his office, and to deliver the same to his successor. ( Gammel's Laws, vol. 2, pp. 1374-1378)

In other words, in the mid-19th century as in the late 20th century, the Comptroller was and is the central accounting officer or chief fiscal officer of the state, and as such is responsible for maintaining effective methods for accounting for the state's funds. He or she is the state's principal tax administrator and collector of tax revenue. The Comptroller must also provide the research and statistics necessary for revenue estimating and certification.

Other duties were added from time to time through specific legislation. These duties will be explained as required in the appropriate series descriptions in this finding aid.

In addition, the Comptroller was made an ex officio member of various other state boards and commissions, as for example the following: the Insurance Department (superintendent, 1875), the Board of Education (1876), the Capitol Building Commission (1879), the East Texas Penitentiary Board (1879), the Board to sell useless State property (1879), the Board of Claims (1883), the Land Board and the Land Fraud Board (1883), the State Tax Board (1905), the Automatic Tax Board (1907), the Texas Bond Commission (1933), etc.

As the business of the office grew in volume and in complexity, the staff of the office increased as well. In 1852 the legislature created the office of Chief Clerk of the Office of Comptroller. Other specialized clerks were added as needed, and as the state budget permitted: tax clerk(s) (about 1859); corresponding clerk(s) (about 1874); an examining clerk (about 1881); delinquent tax clerks, auditing clerks, and warrant clerks (about 1882); a redemption clerk (about 1888); a deposit warrant clerk, a sheriff and witness accountant, a stenographic clerk, and a receiving clerk (all about 1891); a direct tax clerk (about 1893); a special warrant clerk, a bond clerk, mailing and filing clerks, and pension clerks (about 1901); etc. By the turn of the 19th/20th century, the total clerical staff of the office was approximately 44. This had increased to over 400 by 1950. In 1994, the total staff exceeded 2,800.

Detailed Description of the Records

 

Registers of letters received, 1846-1876, 1882-1886, 1893-1899,
1.57 cubic ft. (10 volumes)

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is the central accounting officer or chief fiscal officer of the state, and as such is responsible for maintaining effective methods for accounting for the state's funds; he or she is the state's principal tax administrator and collector of tax revenue. Registers of letters received document the major as well as the minor functions of the office of the Comptroller in the later 19th century, including the receipt of revenues and the expenditure and disbursement of funds. This series consists of ten registers of letters and other documents received by the Texas Comptroller's office, 1846-1876, 1882-1886, and 1893-1899.
The first two are traditional registers of incoming correspondence received between February 1846 and July 1871, with only two gaps (June 13-October 2, 1865, and January 1868-October 1869). Information provided in these two registers normally includes the following: number of the item (totaling 7,939 items), from whom received, date of letter, when received, when answered, and remarks/synopsis of contents. The remarks column (1846-1861) is generally sparse (e.g., "informing Comptroller of his election," or "missing from file," or "no answer required," or "answer addressed to M. Gorsett," etc.); whereas the synopsis column (1861-1871) is more descriptive (e.g., "enclosing bond of E. Oborski, Assessor-Collector Bandera County," or "enclosing $134.34 public funds," or "relative to soldiers' claims," or "wants to purchase State Bonds with Confederate Notes," etc.). These registers are organized roughly (but not strictly) chronologically.
The two registers which cover the period 1870-1876 contain the same kind of information, but are arranged roughly alphabetically by the last name of the correspondent, and therein chronologically. They appear to refer only to matters of taxation.
Five volumes are registers of documents received by specific departments: the Corresponding Clerk (two volumes, 1882-1885), the Auditing Clerk (1882-1886), the Tax Clerk (1882-1884), and the Direct Tax Clerk (1893-1899). Arranged chronologically, these give the following information: number, when received, from whom received, character of paper (e.g., "statement," or "letter," or "certificate of redemption," or "application for pension," or "C. Draft $467.70," or "credit papers Delta County," etc.), and disposition (e.g., "answered Nov. 30, 1883," or "referred to G.L.O.," or "filed," or "referred to Redemption Clerk," etc.)
Finally, one volume is actually an index to letters received and referred during one year, 1882-January 1883, and gives only the following information: from whom received, to whom referred, and number. The clerks to whom these incoming records were referred include the following: Receiving Clerk, Corresponding Clerk, Tax Clerk, Tax Sales Clerk, Redemption Clerk, Examining Clerk, Auditing Clerk, and Warrant Clerk. In other words, this volume serves as an index to parts of three departmental registers, and to other registers which are apparently not extant.
Arrangement
These volumes have been arranged by State Archives staff somewhat chronologically, then two volumes are alphabetical by correspondent, and five volumes are arranged by department.

Letter books, 1846-1862, 1864, 1866-1867,
2.64 cubic ft. (6 volumes)

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is the central accounting officer or chief fiscal officer of the state, and as such is responsible for maintaining effective methods for accounting for the state's funds; he or she is the state's principal tax administrator and collector of tax revenue. Letter books document the major as well as the minor functions of the office of the Comptroller in the mid 19th century, including the receipt of revenues and the expenditure and disbursement of funds. This series consists of six letter books containing the full texts of outgoing correspondence signed by the Texas Comptroller between March 1846 and May 1867, with the following chronological gaps (all within the last volume): March-May 1862, August 1862-January 1864, March 1864-July 1866, and November 1866-April 1867. Correspondents include state officials (e.g., the Governor, Auditor, Attorney General, legislative committees, fiscal agents, former customs collectors of the Republic, former pursers of the Texas Navy, etc.), county and district officials (present and former assessor-collectors, sheriffs, county clerks, county treasurers, district judges, district attorneys, etc.), and private citizens in and out of state (e.g., claimants, taxpayers, landowners, etc.). The Comptrollers who signed the outgoing letters to these persons included, above all, James B. Shaw (1846-1858), but also Clement R. Johns (1858-1864) and W. L. Robards (1866-1867).
Subjects of this correspondence include a wide variety of issues, both substantive and routine, general and specific. Examples which are substantive but general include the following: reports to the Governor, including statements of the probable annual expenses of government, of the amount of money at present in the Treasury, and of the public debt of the Republic of Texas (1846); a circular to state revenue officials regarding the transfer of fiscal duties from the Secretary of the Treasury of the Republic to the State Comptroller (1846); a letter to the Secretary of War of the Confederate States of America regarding settlement of Texas claims against the C.S.A. (1862); reports to the Governor of statements of receipts and expenditures of the late Provisional Government (1866); etc.
Examples of non-routine yet specific topics include: merchandise warehoused under the revenue laws of the late Republic; the number of unsold lots in various cities; specific claims against the late Republic; a proposal to Governor Sam Houston that differences of opinion with the Comptroller be submitted to the Attorney General (1860); a statement of interest due on certain bonds (1867); etc.
Some items are routine but general, such as: circulars to county assessor-collectors explaining changes in procedures, etc.; an answer to an inquiry regarding the occupation tax; circulars to assessor-collectors concerning the levying of a Special War Tax (1862 and 1864); etc.
Probably the bulk of the correspondence is both routine and very specific, for example: instructions to traveling agents/fiscal agents; reports of errors in tax returns of county officials; requests for overdue returns; acknowledgment of receipts for assessment rolls; acknowledgment of receipts for tax returns; reports of sales of land for taxes; suspension of pay for failure to post a security bond; reports of who paid tax for what property for what year; notification that unpaid accounts will be turned over to the district attorney for collection; extension of the deadline for the annual settlement of an assessor-collector; and enclosures of all kinds, including enclosures of receipts for funds forwarded on accounts; of certificates of redemption; of blank forms requested; of copies of accounts current showing balances due; of certificates of adjustment; of a draft on an assessor-collector, requesting receipt of the same; of warrants for services, etc., requesting receipt of the same; etc.

Outgoing letters (letterpress books) document the major as well as the minor functions of the office of the Comptroller in the later 19th century and the early 20th century, including the receipt of revenues and the expenditure and disbursement of funds. This series consists of 690 letterpress volumes of outgoing letters sent by the Texas Comptroller's office, 1860-1921. These books were used as a method of producing duplicates of outgoing letters generated by the Texas Comptroller's office. Letters were written by the Comptroller or the Acting Comptroller or by Clerks acting on instructions from the Comptroller or the Acting Comptroller. Letters were in response to incoming letters from local, county, district and state officials; some United States officials; and from the general public.
The bulk of these outgoing letters are in response to requests from county Tax Assessor/Collectors for instructions, for clarification of tax laws and codes, or relate to the settlement of Tax Collectors' accounts with the Comptroller. Also, Tax Assessor/Collectors routinely requested various kinds of blank forms from the Comptroller. Individuals wrote to the Comptroller with inquiries regarding land ownership or the tax status on individual lots or tracts of land. To a lesser degree, topics addressed in letters include, for example, alleged instances of tax fraud committed by Assessor/Collectors, instances of possible liquor permit violations, occupation tax inquiries, and questions regarding government pensions for military service. Also present are some statistics relating to the actual cost of maintaining the state government for a fiscal year. Drafts of some Annual Reports of the Comptroller are also present. Records reflect the work of the Comptroller's office, but should be considered in conjunction with all other Comptroller records.
Gaps in the records represent letterpress books not received by the Archives. Each letterpress book contains a name index.
