TDHCA seeks stakeholder input on several of its rules.  

The Texas Regulatory Efficiency Office (TREO) is required to coordinate with state agencies to review agency rules and recommend potential amendments to, or repeals of, those rules. On April 27, 2026, TREO released a draft Regulatory Efficiency Review (RER) report of possible regulatory changes TDHCA could make to improve efficiency in some of its rules. The report can be found on the TDHCA website's Public Comment Center: https://www.tdhca.texas.gov/tdhca-public-comment-center

The recommendations in the report are not mandates or directives, but rather ideas and opportunities for improvement. TREO has requested TDHCA share these ideas with stakeholders for a 14-day period in order to garner feedback.  

Public feedback on the recommendations in the report will be accepted from April 30, 2026, through May 14, 2026. Email recommendations to brooke.boston@tdhca.texas.gov. 

It should be noted this feedback period is a separate additional step from the rulemaking process that will follow. Each rule discussed in the report will still be presented to the TDHCA Governing Board as a draft, released for public comment, and returned to the Board for final adoption.
