His appointment as chief clerk to Comptroller Glenn Hegar paves the way for Hancock, a North Richland Hills Republican, to become interim comptroller after Hegar leaves his office in June. And it gives Hancock an edge in a growing Republican primary race next year... A quirk in state law prohibited Gov. Greg Abbott from directly appointing Hancock comptroller. Senators — even former ones — cannot be appointed to another position that requires Senate confirmation during their term."
