Welcome
Welcome to the Inspector General's site. Our primary function is to assist The Adjutant General, Texas Military Department, in taking care of our Soldiers and Airmen. The IG is a personal staff office providing commanders a sounding board for sensitive issues. Our primary means of conducting this mission include training, inspecting, assisting, and investigating. We serve as impartial fact-finders and the eyes, ears, voice, and conscience of The Adjutant General of Texas and commanders at all levels.
Anyone has the right to present complaints, grievances, or requests for assistance to the Inspector General. These complaints or grievances may include what one reasonably believes to be evidence of fraud, waste, and abuse.
Before visiting the Inspector General, you should consider whether your chain of command can address your concerns in a more prompt manner. However, you are not required to present your concerns to your chain of command before contacting the Inspector General.
