The Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) manages the State Records Center (SRC), which provides state agencies and local governments with cost-effective storage of non-current, infrequently used state records in hard copy, electronic and microfilm formats. Agencies are provided with controlled access to their hard copy records that are stored in a facility specifically designed for high-density, low-cost maintenance of records. The electronic and microfilm records are stored in vaults specifically designed to protect these documents and mediums.

Texlinx is the online interface into the State Records Center (SRC); it is the way to access the inventory, billing, training, and request for storage, retrieval, and destruction system.

Records and Information Management Services (RMS) manages the agency record in Texlinx (University of Texas at Austin - 721) and adds departments as divisions and users as Records Center Users (RCUs).
