Consulting Services

The requirements in this section apply to state agencies regardless of the source of funds used to purchase consulting services.

These requirements do not apply to consulting services by:

  • A provider of a professional service
  • A private legal counsel
  • An investment counselor
  • An actuary
  • A medical or dental service provider
  • Other consultants (whose services are determined by the governing board of a retirement system trust fund to be necessary for the governing board to perform its constitutional fiduciary duties)

Note: The Comptroller’s office and the Governor’s office may jointly decide to require a state agency to comply with the general purchasing rules and procedures contained in Texas Government Code, Chapters 2155–2158 instead of the procedures described in this section (if they determine using those procedures would be more advantageous to the state).
