The State and Local Records Management (SLRM) Division
The State and Local Records Management (SLRM) Division provides a statewide infrastructure for the retention of public records in Texas by providing the means for state and local governments to manage their records in a consistent and legal framework, TSLAC’s SLRM helps the public and statewide officials benefit from efficient practices that lead to more open government and public access to information.
SLRM works with 156 state agencies and over 10,000 units of local government to develop records retention programs that maximize efficiency, use cost-effective approaches, meet legal and financial requirements, preserve records of public interest, and promote transparent government. By developing core records retention specifications (that apply to all electronic, audio/visual, and print records), SLRM analysts pave the way for statewide uniformity.
Records analysts provide consultations and training statewide to support this fundamental aspect of government operations. Additionally, SLRM’s State Records Center provides state agencies and local governments with cost-effective storage for records in hard copy, electronic media and microfilm formats. The unit also provides scanning and microfilm services.
