How many years to be vested in the Texas teacher retirement system?

You are vested after five years of service with a right to a retirement benefit. There are also disability and death and survivor benefits available to TRS members. See the TRS website for more information on this valuable benefit.

What is the average TRS pension in Texas?

The average TRS standard annuity is just $2,174 per month. A TRS members annuity is set for life unless the Texas Legislature passes a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Inflation has reduced the pension buying power of some TRS annuitants by as much as 33%.

What happens to my retirement money if I quit teaching?

If you terminate your TRS covered employment, you may apply for a refund of your contributions and interest. You can either receive a check from TRS, or move your funds to another qualified plan.

Can I cash out my TRS in Texas?

As a TRS member, if you permanently terminate employment with your TRS-covered employer(s) and have neither applied for nor received a promise of employment with a TRS-covered employer, you may terminate membership in TRS and withdraw all of the accumulated contributions (plus interest) in your member account.
