In Texas, all state agencies other than those listed in the state constitution will be automatically abolished at some future date unless the legislature extends their mandate.
Prior to each agency's expiration, the Sunset Commission reviews their purpose and effectiveness and then makes a recommendation to the legislature to abolish the organization, continue with modifications, merge the agency under review with another or let it expire.
