Special Olympics Texas is governed by a Board of Directors, which consists of 21 out of 28 volunteer positions. Among these positions are two athlete positions.

In addition to meeting the requirements of the position the Director is filling, a Board member shall have demonstrated leadership qualities through their public relations, public awareness, fund raising and/or program accomplishments on behalf of Special Olympics Texas. Applications for membership are submitted to the Board Management Committee for review. Final nominees are presented to the entire Board of Directors for selection.
