34 Tex. Admin. Code § 129.1 - Purpose
(a) The Texas Municipal Retirement System
(the system) receives a substantial number and variety of domestic relations
orders as that term is defined in §
129.2 of this title (relating to
Definitions) which purport to divide the accumulated contributions of members
of the system, and/or the retirement benefits of such members, as part of
divorce or other domestic relations proceedings.
(b) Many of those orders contain provisions
that would require the system to attempt to determine what effect the order is
intended to have on accumulated contributions and/or retirement benefits upon
the happening of certain events. The board of trustees of the system has
therefore adopted the rules and procedures set forth in this chapter, in order
to establish a process whereunder it can be determined if a particular domestic
relations order clearly divides all benefits that may be payable under the Act,
clearly advises the system as to whom benefits are to be paid and in what
manner and does not purport to require payments to be made in a manner that
would conflict with the Act.
