State agencies in Texas, including regulatory boards, are subject to oversight and review by the Texas Legislature by means of the Sunset Advisory Commission review. The review takes place approximately every 12 years, and involves an extensive process of information gathering and assessment before Sunset staff prepare a recommendation to the Legislature on whether an agency or board should be continued, modified, or abolished. The six regulatory boards listed above last underwent Sunset review in 1993. The Sunset Commission presented its recommendations regarding the boards to the Texas Legislature in 2005.

Detailed information on all the components of the Sunset review, including the "Guide to the Sunset Process", is available on the Sunset Advisory Commission website at: http://www.sunset.state.tx.us/
