Albert Betts, Commissioner of Workers' Compensation for the Texas Department of Insurance, will retire at the end of August.
Betts was appointed to the newly created post in 2005.
"We have laid a solid foundation for the system going forward, including working to reform the agency itself," Betts said in a statement. "It remains critical that injured workers get the service they need from their workers' compensation insurance carrier as well as the agency, and that efforts be continued to keep workers' compensation costs at a reasonable level for Texas employers."
