Which entity requires a citywide records management program?

• A. Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
• B. Texas Department of Agriculture
• C. Texas State Library and Archives Commission
• D. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

Answer: (C)

A citywide records management program is established and overseen by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. This agency sets the standards, provides guidance, and administers the Records Management Program for local governments, including cities, to ensure consistent retention schedules, proper preservation of important records, and compliant disposition across all city departments. This centralized oversight helps municipalities manage records efficiently and respond to public information requests. The other agencies listed—state-level departments like the Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Agriculture, and Parks and Wildlife—manage their own records within their operations but do not have the responsibility to require a citywide records management program for municipalities.
