The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation is TDLR's governing board and policy-making body, made up of seven public members appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Texas Senate. By law, no commissioner may have any business interests in a profession regulated by TDLR.The agency and Commission work in partnership with 31 advisory boards composed of dedicated public servants.
