The mission of the Texas Commission on Fire Protection is to aid in the protection of lives and property of Texas citizens through the development and enforcement of recognized professional standards for individuals and the fire service. The commission's authority is defined by TX Gov't Code Chapter 419. The commission's strategic plan includes two major goals:
The agency fulfills its first goal by providing education and assistance to the fire service: Fire Protection Resource Library and Injury Report.
The agency fulfills its second goal through three program areas by enforcing statewide fire service standards: Certification, Training and Testing, and Compliance.
