Most such “Commissioners” are Executive agencies. Generally, a legislative body creates a law that enables the creation of a “commission” to oversee, regulate, administer, disburse or otherwise “do something”, and the “doing” is an Executive function.
In this case, though, it sounds as if this position is independent of the governor and the legislature, so I’m not sure how it fits in the org chart of Texas government.
The executive branch consists of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Land Commissioner, Attorney General, Agriculture Commissioner, the three-member Texas Railroad Commission, the State Board of Education, and the Secretary of State.

Politicians restricting their influence to their particular branch has been a thing of the past since 2008
^^@SecondHandStoke Please elaborate. I’m not sure I follow.
