The Sunset Advisory Commission is reviewing the mission and performance of the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and welcomes comments from the public on whether the agency is still needed, the agency’s performance in fulfilling its mission, and ideas to improve TWC’s operations and services.

Why is this happening?

Texas law requires the Sunset Advisory Commission to regularly review state agencies like the TWC. This helps ensure the agencies are working efficiently and effectively for Texans. After the review, the Commission will make recommendations to the Texas Legislature about the TWC's future. The Legislature will then decide whether to keep the TWC and how to improve it.

Submit Your Input

Here are several ways to provide comments and suggestions to Sunset staff on TWC’s mission, operations, and services:

  • Send an email to sunset@sunset.texas.gov, with TWC Review in the subject line,
  • Submit comments online at www.sunset.texas.gov/input-form,
  • Send a letter to Sunset Advisory Commission, Attn: TWC, P.O. Box 13066, Austin, Texas 78711, or
  • Call 512-463-1300 to speak to Katie Durain, project manager of the TWC review. 

Please provide your comments by February 2026 to ensure Sunset staff can fully consider your input while conducting their review. Comments submitted before the staff report is published in June 2026 will remain confidential.

What happens next?

  1. Sunset Staff Review: The Sunset staff will review the TWC, gather public input, and publish a report with recommendations.
  2. Public Meetings: The Sunset Advisory Commission will hold two public meetings to discuss the staff report and hear public comments. They will then make recommendations.
  3. Legislature Decides: In January 2027, the Texas Legislature will consider the Sunset Commission's recommendations and decide on the future of the TWC.
