The Interagency Council on Natural Resources and the Environment, before 1972 known as the Interagency Natural Resources Council, served to coordinate the environmental stewardship of several state agencies and consisted of the Texas Air Control Board, the Texas Industrial Commission, the Railroad Commission of Texas, the Texas Highway Department, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Texas Soil and Water Conservation Board, the Texas Water Quality Board, the Texas Water Rights Commission, and a representative of the Texas Governor's Office. Staff was provided by the Division of Planning Coordination within the Governor's Office. The council was directed by the 62nd Texas Legislature to work with appropriate state agencies to delineate their role and responsibilities in establishing a comprehensive policy concerning coastal lands. The Legislature also directed the council to investigate the feasibility of applying procedures of resource analysis developed by the Coastal Resources Management Program (a comprehensive study done by the Division of Planning Coordination of the state's submerged lands, beaches, islands, estuaries, and estuarine areas) to other areas of the state. The council met in open session at least once every quarter and reported periodically to the Legislature.
