Anything that can be classified as an official state (or university) record must eventually be documented as being destroyed or be transferred to the Texas State Archives or an archive approved by the Texas State Archives. The University Archives at the Briscoe Center is recognized by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for the purpose of final transfer of official University of Texas at Austin and UT System and UT Regents records. Some records with permanent retention requirements that have ongoing administrative functionality (such as student transcript records) must be kept indefinitely in the originating office. Otherwise it is better for records that have ongoing historical value to be transferred to the University Archives.
