Hancock Steps Down as Texas Comptroller | San Antonio News

Texas’s acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock is stepping down at the end of July after a whirlwind year marked by launching the state’s $1 billion school choice program, which already sends vouchers to parents — all while operating with unprecedented speed since the law took effect just last fall. A former state legislator who narrowly lost his bid for a full term, Hancock is confident his successor, Don Huffines, will carry on his legacy. With Texas’s budget exceeding $337 billion, the comptroller’s office holds immense power — managing taxes, revenue, and the state’s finances. Hancock’s exit caps a decades-long public service journey that began on a local school board and included a surprising Democratic special election win after he left the Senate.
