On the contrary, when I looked this question up, I found a change that was made in 2019 or so that essentially says the Teacher Retirement System of Texas is *NOT* a 403(b) plan. Read below:
TRS and 403(b) Certifications
Changes to TRS 403(b) Certification and Registration for Active Members
As of September 1, 2019, TRS no longer certifies 403(b) companies nor maintains a list of registered 403(b) investment products. This change is pursuant to legislation (House Bill 2820) that was adopted by the Texas Legislature in May 2019.
