Foreword
The Texas Human Resources Management Statutes Inventory (Inventory) is provided by the State
Auditor's Office as a guide to assist state agencies and institutions of higher education. The
Inventory, first published in 1972 and updated every two years, is a compilation of state and federal
laws that apply to human resources management. This 19th edition supersedes all previous editions
and reflects changes made in the 83rd Legislative Session.
Intention of Inventory

guide and should not be construed as legal advice. It is intended to serve The information contained in this

state laws and regulations.
The State Auditor's Office has strived to provide an accurate collection of laws relating to human
resources management. However, due to the complex and changing nature of the subject matter, the
Inventory may contain some errors or omissions. The specific language contained in the statutes,
regulations, and other source documents takes precedence over the content of the Inventory.
Interpretation of the human resources management provisions: The Inventory draws state
human resources statutes, policies, and procedures primarily from five sources: general laws enacted
by the Legislature, the General Appropriations Act, the Texas Administrative Code, Texas Attorney
General Opinions, and State Auditor's Office Leave Interpretations. Texas Government Code,
Section 661.151, grants the State Auditor the authority to provide a uniform interpretation of Texas
Government Code, Chapter 661, Subchapter F, General Provisions for Vacation Leave for State
Employees; Subchapter G, General Provisions for Sick Leave for State Employees; and Subchapter Z,
Miscellaneous Leave Provisions for State Employees.1 Please be advised that these interpretations
are advisory in nature and should not be construed as legal advice. Agencies are responsible for
consulting with their own attorneys to determine the best course of action and to ensure compliance
with all applicable federal and state laws.
Additional information: Questions concerning this Inventory should be directed to the Classification
Analyst in the State Auditor's Office's State Classification Team assigned to your agency or
institution of higher education. Contact information for the analysts is at
