Texas Retirement System of Texas has a helpful page that shows members how to set up a MyTRS online account, something that is very important as TRS has now suspended most written communications, including tax forms, to the majority of its annuitants and expects them to access it through their MyTRS accounts.
Once you enter public education in Texas, it is your life-long responsibility to stay informed and to safeguard your benefits and insurance.
TRS provides a DEFINED BENEFIT which is guaranteed for life rather than a Defined Contribution (such as a 401K or IRA Accounts) which could run out during your lifetime.
Since 2005, the Texas Legislature has passed laws seven times which resulted in significant changes to TRS benefits and insurance.
