according to requirements and conditions of Tex. Gov. Code, Chapter

to lose compensation from the state.
(1) The human resources manager is designated as the
pool administrator.
(2) The pool administrator, with the advice and consent
of the executive director, will establish operating procedures consistent
with the requirements of this section and relevant law governing operation
of the pool. The pool administrator will ensure procedures are contained
and made available to all agency employees in the agency's HR policy
