Field Operations
The newly created Field Operations division performs inspections and
educates licensees for the Cosmetology, Barber, Towing, Vehicle Storage
Facility, Booting, Used Auto Parts Recycler, and Licensed Breeder
programs. Our inspectors are the face of TDLR for many of our licensees,
performing scheduled pre-license and unscheduled periodic inspections of
licensed facilities. TDLR is moving to an electronic inspection process that
will allow field staff to enter inspection results in durable tablet computers,
which will upload results to our database as each inspection is completed.
This e-inspection process will significantly reduce data entry and other Tow Truck Round-up inspection
administrative tasks, allowing for increased productivity.I want to commend TDLR and its
inspectors. It is a good idea to do
consolidated tow inspections.))

The agency is also implementing route-optimization software that will
assign daily inspections and map out the most efficient route for inspectors.
Inspectors will save administrative time by no longer manually creating
a daily itinerary. The route-optimization program considers a variety of
business rules including: inspection due dates; location of the facilities and
inspectors; duration of inspections; and potential harm to the public. This
program increases the productivity and efficiency of inspections and helps
ensure public safety.Financial Services
The Financial Services division manages TDLR's fiscal resources in
compliance with state and federal requirements. Staff operates in a prudent
and responsible manner, carrying out all of their duties to get the most
value from each appropriated dollar. This division is organized into four
cross-trained teams:
- Payroll and Accounting
- Budget and Administrative
- Reporting and Financial Support Services
- Purchasing and Procurement
Financial Services balances the agency's budget and ensures all divisions
spend within their means. The division allocates and monitors purchasing
and capital asset requirements, develops the Legislative Appropriation
Request, manages the annual budget, and prepares all agency fiscal reports.Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation 11
