- (a) The statements of policy from the minutes of the Board of Trustees of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas at all of its meetings from the first in 1937, have been compiled and codified in these rules.
- (b) This material has been arranged generally according to subject matter and placed in numbered sections. Many of the regulations are pertinent to and affect more than one of the subjects listed in the section headings. No attempt has been made to include under each heading all of the policies or regulations which might be pertinent to that heading. The fact that a regulation is included under one heading shall not in any manner limit its application to subjects treated under other headings.
- (c) These rules and regulations are statements of policies in matters over which the board is given authority by the statutes and of interpretations in matters where the meaning of the law is not readily apparent. They do not include matters in which the board considered the intent of the law to be unmistakably clear. For this reason, these rules and regulations should be used in conjunction with the Teacher Retirement Law (codified as the Texas Government Code, Title 8, Subtitle C).
