Texas Lottery Advisory Committee

Apply To Be Part Of The New Lottery Advisory Committee

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is currently seeking applicants to serve as volunteer members of the new nine-member Lottery Advisory Committee.

As part of the transition of the Texas Lottery Commission to TDLR in September, legislators abolished the commission and created the Lottery Advisory Committee.

Members will serve staggered six-year terms, but during this initial period, three members will serve two-year terms, three will serve 4-year terms, and three will serve 6-year terms.

Advisory committee members will play a critical role in supporting TDLR’s mission by providing technical knowledge, industry expertise, and real-world insight to the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation and agency staff. The committee will meet virtually, allowing for participation by members from across the state.

The Lottery Advisory Committee consists of nine members appointed by the presiding officer of the commission, with the commission’s approval, as follows:

• one member who represents the public;

• one member who is a licensed sales agent;

• two members who represent interest groups with divergent viewpoints on the lottery and lottery operations;

• two members who represent entities associated with or benefiting from the lottery’s contributions to this state;

• one member with experience in lottery law enforcement;

• one member with experience in lottery legal matters; and

• one member with experience in lottery finance;

The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation has appointed five members to the Committee.

TDLR is currently seeking applications for the following open Committee positions:

• one member who is a licensed sales agent;

• one member who represents interest groups with divergent viewpoints on the lottery and lottery operations;

• one member with experience in lottery law enforcement;

• one member with experience in lottery finance;

Anyone who submits an application will be required to submit fingerprints for a state and national criminal history and background report.
