The Texas Education Agency (TEA) on behalf of the State Board of Education (SBOE) and the Texas Permanent School Fund (TPSF) seeks to identify real estate investment managers (Managers) qualified to provide investment management services for the TPSFs real estate investment portfolio. TEA and the SBOE will tentatively pre-qualify firms for engagement if and when needed. This engagement is not exclusive, nor is TPSF obligated in any case to engage Managers, or to make investments recommended or analyzed by Managers. Subject to applicable statutes and procedures, SBOE reserves the right to engage other managers or consultants to provide the same or similar services to TPSF.
