Where the Money Goes
Texas is fortunate to have a thriving economy, and we can afford to make the investments needed to ensure that every Texan can share in the state’s prosperity. State investments in high-quality education, health care, transportation and other public goods help communities flourish as Texas continues to grow. Our elected leaders in the Texas Legislature have the responsibility to decide every two years what that level of investment will be. Our state budget is a moral document that should reflect the needs of Texans from all backgrounds and help every Texan thrive.

State Budget
State investments in high-quality pre K-12 and higher education, health care, and infrastructure help communities flourish as Texas continues to grow.
