Texas Division of Emergency Management Now Under The Purview Of Texas A&M System

Texas legislators voted this session to transfer the operations of the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to the Texas A&M University System, effective Sept. 1.

All rules, policies, and procedures in place under DPS will carry over in the transition, but would be superseded by any new rule or administrative action at A&M.

Current TDEM staff members will remain with the division but be considered A&M employees. The director’s position would be appointed by the governor.

DPS and A&M system officers must enter into a memorandum of understanding by Oct. 1 to transfer powers, duties, contracts, records, property, and unspent budgets and other funds relating to TDEM to the Texas A&M System before Jan. 1, 2020.
