The Texas Education Agency is committed to assisting the public with questions and concerns.
The Department of Agency Finance helps ensure TEA manages public funds responsibly and follows state and federal requirements. The department is made up of three divisions: Accounting, Budget, and Contracts & Purchasing.
- The Accounting Division manages the agency’s financial records, processes payments, and prepares financial reports.
- The Budget Division develops and manages the agency’s budget, prepares the Legislative Appropriations Request (LAR), and provides financial information to support planning and decision-making.
- The Contracts & Purchasing Division oversees the procurement of goods and services, manages agency contracts, and helps ensure purchasing and contracting activities comply with applicable laws, rules, and policies.
Together, these divisions support the agency’s mission by promoting sound financial management, accountability, and the responsible use of public resources.
