While the Ministry of Governmental efficiency (DOGE) is defined as a temporary service organization in a presidential executive order, the Texas Regulatory Office will be a permanent part of the state government.
Meanwhile, the 13 -member Texas Dogs Committee will continue its broad goal in eliminating waste, fraud and corruption within the state government. It is unclear how the organizational efficiency office in Texas and the Doug Committee in the House of Representatives will interact.
As for the goals of federal efforts and government efforts towards government competence, Federalism aims to update “technology and programs to increase government and productive efficiency.”
Texas’s regulatory reform and efficiency law says that the new office will focus on reducing regulations and simplifying the process to create ruling rules within government agencies.

Since then, Texas has provided one billion dollars by “assessing the need for state agencies, their effectiveness, efficiency and response to the public.”
The Consultative Committee of the sunset is periodically reviewing and auditing government agencies, and then provides recommendations for the legislature on the changes that must be made, including canceling a specific part of the government.
