==Administration==
The [[Texas Legislature]] has delegated administrative power and authority over the Texas State University System to its board of regents including the organization, control, and management of the system and each of its component institutions including employing and discharging the presidents, officers, and other employees of each member institution.<ref name="R&R">{{cite web|title=The Texas State University System, Rules and Regulations|url=http://gato-docs.its.txstate.edu/jcr:cadb6c26-5fbc-4e8d-87df-da945380ffdd/Rules%20Regs%20May%202017.pdf|format=PDF|date=May 19, 2017|access-date=July 8, 2017}}</ref>{{rp|21–22}}

The board consists of nine voting regents, including its chair and vice chairs. Members of the board are appointed by the [[Governor of Texas|governor]] with [[Texas Senate|Senate]] confirmation to staggered, six-year terms with three regents appointed every two years. In addition, a non-voting student regent is appointed annually.<ref name="board">{{cite web|title=Board of Regents|url=http://www.tsus.edu/regents.html|publisher=Texas State University System|access-date=July 8, 2017}}</ref> The chair and vice chair are elected by the membership of the board to one-year terms.<ref name="R&R"/>{{rp|25}}

The chief executive officer of the university system is the chancellor, who also serves as secretary to the Board of Regents without being a member of the Board. The chancellor is appointed without a fixed term by a majority of the board of regents and serves at the pleasure of the board. The chancellor has ultimate authority and responsibility over all system components including recommending the hiring and firing of the presidents of system institutions, maintaining the permanent records of the system, and advising, assisting, and representing the board in administrative matters.<ref name="R&R"/>{{rp|29–30}}

The current chancellor of the Texas State University System is [[Brian McCall (politician)|Brian McCall]], a former legislator in the [[Texas House of Representatives]].<ref name="McCall">{{cite web|title=Chancellor Brian McCall|url=http://www.tsus.edu/leadership/chancellor/brian-mccall.html|publisher=Texas State University System|access-date=July 8, 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160715015329/http://www.tsus.edu/leadership/chancellor/brian-mccall.html|archive-date=July 15, 2016}}</ref>

The system's administration consists of six offices. One office, the Office of Audits and Analysis, is independent of the chancellor and headed by a director appointed by the regents. The remaining five, Academic and Health Affairs, Finance, General Counsel, Governmental Relations, and Marketing and Communications, are led by vice chancellors under the authority of the system chancellor.<ref name="R&R"/>{{rp|30–31}}
