Texas Funeral Service Commission (TFSC)

Staff fired from the Texas Funeral Service Commission claim the head commissioner's advocacy for bills in the Texas Legislature presented an allegedly illegal conflict of interest. Legal and political experts say lobbying laws for regulatory agencies aren't so straightforward.

It comes days after reporting by KERA News revealed TFSC Presiding Officer Kristin Tips texted an anti-Muslim graphic and links in May to the commission's then-executive director Scott Bingaman.
