Appendix F: Excerpts from Agency LARs Related to CAPPS Funding Requests

Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) Funding Request

TxDMV — Administrator’s Statement

TxDMV is requesting additional funding to become a CAPPS participant and is currently an internal user of the Texas Uniform Statewide Accounting System (USAS); however, it does not possess any automated financial applications to prepare its appropriations request, operating budget or year-end financial statements. Budgeting data must be collected from divisions — a manual process that is labor intensive, increases risk of error and makes ad hoc reporting for accurate, timely information unavailable.

TxDMV currently utilizes TxDOT’s PeopleSoft system for managing its human resources but must find an alternative methodology for its human resource management, with TxDOT’s PeopleSoft system set to expire as it transitions to CAPPS. The modules provided in CAPPS will meet TxDMV needs.

Description/Justification

TxDMV is requesting additional funding to become a CAPPS participant so the agency can benefit from an integrated financial, payroll, time/leave and human resources system. TxDMV does not possess any automated financial applications to administer salary, position control and employee changes for 763 FTEs. The modules provided in CAPPS will meet TxDMV needs.

External/Internal Factors

While TxDMV is an internal USAS user, it does not possess any automated financial applications to prepare its legislative appropriations request, annual operating budget or year-end financial statements. Instead, budgeting data must be collected from the divisions — a manual process that is labor intensive, increases the risk of error and makes ad hoc reporting for accurate, timely information unavailable. Futhermore, TxDMV, currently using TxDOT’s PeopleSoft system for managing its human resources, must find an alternative methodology for its human resource management since TxDOT’s PeopleSoft system is set to expire as it transitions to CAPPS.
