The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is an executive branch position created by the Texas Constitution. As with nearly every other executive branch head, the comptroller is popularly elected every four years concurrently with the governor and the other elected executive branch positions (elections take place in even number years not divisible by four; e.g., 2006, 2010, and so on). The current comptroller is Glenn Hegar, who took office on January 2, 2015. ==History== The predecessor to the current Comptroller's office started in 1846. The longest-serving Comptrollers in Texas history were George H. Sheppard, who served for 18 years over nine two-year terms; Robert S. Calvert, who held the post for 26 consecutive years for an unprecedented twelve terms; and Bob Bullock, who served for 16 years for four four-year terms. Duties currently performed by the Comptroller's office were previously divided between it and the office of Texas State Treasurer; however, over time most of the functions were transferred to the Comptroller's office. Texas voters voted to formally abolish the Treasurer's office in a 1995 constitutional amendment, and by 1996, the Comptroller had taken over the Treasurer's few remaining duties. Susan Combs was elected in 2006 after the incumbent, Carole Keeton Strayhorn, chose not to run for re-election to a third term.〔("About Us", Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, retrieved March 22, 2009 )〕 In 2014, Combs did not run for re-election and Glenn Hegar won the general election in November, taking office in January 2, 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
