The rules and regulations covering travel reimbursement
come from several sources. The University of Texas is governed by the
State of Texas Travel Regulations Act, the General Appropriations Act, Rules and Regulations of the University of Texas System Board of Regents, and official interpretations
of the Travel Act as made by the State Comptroller of Public Accounts.
The most relevant rules have been condensed into this part of the Handbook of Business Procedures for quick
reference. When the rules for local accounts differ from state accounts,
the difference is noted.
Travel reimbursements are processed by the Office of Accounting Travel Services.
