The Teacher Retirement System of Texas was established pursuant to Article 16, Section 67 of the Texas Constitution, which requires TRS to have a Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to administer TRS and invest its funds. The assets of the TRS pension fund are required by state and federal law to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and beneficiaries.
The Board of Trustees of TRS is responsible for the general administration and operation of TRS, and is authorized by law to adopt rules for the administration of TRS and the transaction of the business of the Board.
