The Texas Municipal Retirement System Board of Trustees is the six-member governing body responsible for administering the Texas Municipal Retirement System. Appointed by the Governor of Texas and confirmed by the state Senate, the board serves as the primary fiduciary overseer managing retirement, disability, and death benefits for municipal employees across hundreds of Texas cities. The board and system were created by an act of the 50th Texas Legislature in 1947 and began operations in 1948 without receiving state tax funding.
