The government, control, and direction of the TTU System is vested in a nine-member Board of Regents appointed by the governor and confirmed by the legislature.

The Chancellor is the chief executive officer of the TTU System appointed by, and responsible to, the Board of Regents. The Chancellor carries out the policies of the System as determined by the Regents and has direct responsibility for all aspects of the operations of the TTU System's three primary components: Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and the TTU System Offices.

The presidents of Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center are appointed by the Chancellor and are chief executive officers of their respective institutions and responsible for the strategic operation of each institution.

The Board of Regents established the system in 1996 to provide leadership and support for the combined academic enterprise.

Texas Tech University's enrollment totals 28,200 students. The main campus is located in Lubbock Texas, and is bordered by Marsha Sharp Freeway (4th Street), 19th Street, University Avenue, and Quaker Avenue. It operates several satellite campuses and centers outside of Lubbock, listed in the next section.

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center was created as the Texas Tech University School of Medicine by the 61st Texas Legislature in 1969. In 1979, the charter was expanded to create the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. The university's enrollment was 2,458 as of Fall 2006. TTUHSC operates three satellite campuses in additiom to the main campus in Lubbock, Texas.
