Boards and commissions in Houston, Texas
Houston, Texas runs on 171 boards and commissions whose seats are held by residents who applied. This is the list Rallybase has read from the city's own register, read on 2026-08-28, and what the city does and does not publish about it.
Houston publishes each board's open seats through its Granicus boards portal, and separates a seat that is empty from a seat whose term has lapsed. Both counts come from the per-board pages.

What Rallybase does not know here
- Who appoints to each body — the mayor, the council, a district member, or a mix.
- When or where any of them meets. The city publishes that per board; we have not read it.
- Who currently sits on any of them. Rallybase holds no membership roster for this city.
- Which of these bodies is still standing. The city's register lists committees whose work is finished beside commissions that meet every month, and we hold no field marking which is which.
