The Texas State Comptroller's Office was created in 1835 by Texas'
provisional government and renewed by each constitution. The present office of
the Comptroller was created by the Texas Constitution of 1876 (Article IV,
Sections 1 and 23) and is responsible for collecting state revenue, tracking
state expenditures, and monitoring the financial condition of the state. The
Comptroller was popularly elected for a two-year term until a constitutional
amendment in 1974 lengthened the term to four years. The Texas Comptroller of
Public Accounts is the state's chief fiscal officer, bookkeeper and economic
forecaster. The agency issues approximately 8 million checks a year to meet
state agency payrolls and to pay the state's bills. The primary duty of the
Comptroller's Office is to collect 26 state taxes, including sales, corporate
franchise, motor fuels, motor vehicle sales, oil and natural gas production and
inheritance taxes. The Office has field offices in 25 cities equipped to take
applications for tax permits and licenses and to make sure delinquent taxpayers
bring their accounts up to date. Comptroller auditors regularly check
taxpayers' books to ensure compliance with the laws, visiting businesses
ranging from small Texas grocers to Fortune 500 corporations in Texas and other
states.
The Comptroller is required by law to provide the Legislature with a
sworn statement showing the financial condition of the state at the end of each
fiscal year and an estimate of probable revenue for the coming fiscal year. The
Texas Constitution limits the amount that the Legislature may spend to the
amount of revenue the Comptroller certifies as available for each biennium. The
agency also evaluates spending bills in the Legislature to determine if enough
money will be available to meet the budget. In addition, the Comptroller's
Office ensures that state agencies stay within their budgets, and is developing
uniform state accounting and payroll systems to improve the efficiency of all
state financial operations. Among its divisions, the Local Government Division
helps Texas cities and counties in handling state funds and in budgeting,
bookkeeping, cash management and purchasing procedures, while the Economic
Development Division provides information about federal and state grant
opportunities, distributes data about local economies and helps businesses find
purchasing and training opportunities. The Research Division studies and
reports on all sectors and geographic regions of the Texas economy. Finally,
the Comptroller's Office helps taxpayers comply with state tax laws and stay
abreast of changes in the law.
On September 1, 1996 the Office of the Comptroller assumed the
function of the abolished State Treasury Department and the Treasury
Department's Unclaimed Property Program, thus making the Comptroller
responsible for depositing and investing state funds, paying state warrants,
administering and enforcing the state's cigarette and tobacco tax laws, and
attempting to return abandoned property to its owners.
Bob Bullock was Comptroller from 1975 through 1990, John Sharp served
from 1991 through 1998, and Carole Keeton Rylander Strayhorn has served as
Comptroller since 1999. By 1999, the Comptroller's Office had a full-time staff
of over 2,800 individuals and an annual budget in excess of $170 million
dollars.

Agencies, 6th edition (1990); the Guide to Texas
State Agencies, 10th edition (1999).)
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, representing
activities of the various division directors, the deputy comptrollers, and
comptrollers Bob Bullock and John Sharp. These records consist of
correspondence, memoranda, reports, speeches, clippings, invitations, thank-you
notes, computer printouts, press releases, and other administrative documents,
dating 1973-1988, 1991-2002, as maintained by the Executive Administration
Division of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
Many of the records were generated and collected by the Executive
Administration Division of the Comptroller's Office under the leadership of
Comptroller Bob Bullock. Some materials consist of administrative files
concerning each of thirteen divisions of the Comptroller's office. Central
correspondence files include correspondence from members of the general public,
organizations, elected and appointed public officials, and staff (especially
heads) of state agencies. Topics include interpretations of tax laws and
Comptroller's office policies, complaints against tax rules, requests for
changes in existing tax laws, attempted resolutions of tax problems,
suggestions for improving the state's fiscal situation, letters of
appreciation, and routine internal matters. Reports include materials on taxes,
tax rates, comparisons of Texas taxes with those of other states, comparisons
of Texas' statistics with other nations, creation of an internal
"think tank," internships, public school
funding and education, audits, and internal accomplishments. Additionally, the
records contain some of Bullock's campaign speeches for the office of
Comptroller. Speeches were given to the state Democratic convention, trade and
labor union organizations, the Texas legislature and legislative committees,
business groups, church congregations, colleges and universities, and local
civic groups.
Also included is an active series of administrative correspondence
(both incoming and especially outgoing letters and memoranda, plus attachments)
of Comptrollers John Sharp and Carole Keeton Rylander, dating 1991-2002.
Typically, correspondents are state legislators, state agency officials, the
lieutenant governor, the governor, local officials (at the city, county, and
school district level), federal officials, and corporate entities. Topics
addressed in the correspondence include such things as projected or anticipated
effects of proposed tax rates, methods of statistical adjustment for the
federal census, issues involving the lottery, legislative intent, the tobacco
litigation settlement, school audit performance reviews, the salaries of public
officials, the Taxpayer Advisory Group, the property tax Technical Advisory
Committee, etc.
To prepare this preliminary 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.
This finding aid describes the records of only one unit of the Texas
