The approved RRS places UTMB in compliance with the law and grants authority for records disposition. If a records series has an archival code marked on the RRS, the records must be reviewed by Archives instead of being destroyed.

Any record that does not appear on UTMB’s certified RRS, or a certified amendment, must receive authorization from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission prior to destruction. UTMB’s Records Management Officer, or the agency head must receive approval for final disposition on a Request for Authority to Dispose of State Records form prior to destroying the records. This is a Texas State Library - Records Management Division form that has been approved for reproduction in this User Guide. Please contact Records Management if your department has a records series not listed on your RRS.
