Which activity is performed by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission regarding records schedules?

• A. Providing public access to records
• B. Enforcing fines for non-compliance
• C. Managing court budgets
• D. Approving new records schedules

Answer: (D)

The core idea is understanding who handles how long records should be kept and when they can be destroyed. Records schedules lay out retention periods and disposition actions for different records. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission oversees the state’s records management program, including reviewing and approving new records schedules to ensure they meet legal requirements and fit how agencies work. Once a schedule is approved, agencies apply those retention periods to their records. Public access to records is governed by the Public Information Act, while enforcement and budgeting are handled by other entities, not this commission. So the activity described is approving new records schedules.
