Texas Industrial Accident Board

The Texas Industrial Accident Board (now part of the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation) is a state agency responsible for overseeing and managing workers' compensation claims. It ensures injured workers receive benefits and medical care, and that employers fulfill their legal obligations. The Board sets regulations, resolves disputes, and promotes a fair process for both employees and employers following work-related injuries or illnesses. Its goal is to provide a streamlined, equitable system that supports injured workers while maintaining workplace safety and responsibility.
