The Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) is an award-winning statewide public retirement system that provides retirement, disability, and death benefits to more than 220,000 employees, retirees, and their beneficiaries of 938 participating Texas cities. TMRS staff is passionate about providing Texas public servants, who have contributed so much to their communities and improved the lives of so many, with a secure lifetime monthly retirement benefit. At TMRS, we believe a career in public service is more than just a job. Our staff has the privilege of providing retirement security to those who have devoted their careers to helping others and improving their communities. In 2023, Governor Abbott expressed it well in his recognition of TMRS’ 75th anniversary: "A secure retirement is the just reward for a lifetime of honest work, and this system has - for three quarters of a century – ensured that our public servants can attain financial security…TMRS has withstood every test…although much has changed in the past seventy-five years, TMRS’ dedication to municipal employees has not."
