For the last decade, the Texas Legislature has directed the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) to take a leadership role on endangered species issues and policy. As the steward of the Texas economy, CPA works with state and federal government, business interests and nonprofits to help find solutions to issues relating to endangered and threatened species that are sustainable ecologically, socially and economically. CPA ensures its funded scientific reports are available to the public while protecting private landowner confidentiality. CPA also facilitates information sharing between agencies and stakeholders, and encourages transparency and inclusivity in Endangered Species Act. decisions.
