Personnel
Today, the agency employs about 100 personnel. The Texas Historical Commission leadership is composed of 18 members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, serving overlapping six-year terms. All members must be citizens of Texas, and together represent all geographical areas of Texas.
The commission also employs personnel in various fields, including archeology, architecture, economic development, heritage tourism, history, public administration and urban planning. These personnel consult with citizens and organizations to preserve Texas's architectural, archeological and cultural landmarks.
In the late 1990s, the agency was restructured to have seven divisions that carry out the responsibilities of the agency. The divisions are:
- Administration Division
- Staff Services Division
- Archeology Division
- Division of Architecture
- History Programs Division
- Community Heritage Division
- Marketing Communications Division
There are several boards associated with the Texas Historical Commission:
- The State Board of Review
- The Antiquities Advisory Board
- The Guardians of Texas Preservation Trust Fund
- The Advisory Board of the Texas Preservation Trust Fund
- The Main Street Interagency Council
