Hancock Steps Down as Texas Comptroller | Texas News

Kelly Hancock, acting Texas Comptroller, is stepping down effective July 31, praising his landmark TEFA program that’s already helping over 100,000 students. He’s confident his successor, former Senator Don Huffines, will keep the office running at “the speed of business,” continuing Hancock’s fast-paced, results-driven style. Hancock, who joined the Comptroller’s office after resigning from the Senate in June 2025, leaves behind a legacy of bold education reform — hailed by Governor Abbott as a “historic achievement.” His departure marks the end of a pivotal chapter in Texas education, as TEFA continues to expand under new leadership.
