Western resentment of U.S. government control of so much land is real; that control is intrusive. How would you like it if a federal bureaucracy owned 30-40% of your property? Texas, however, is not a good comparison. We in Texas have a unique situation. Because we constituted a separate republic, a separate nation before entering the union, the Republic of Texas owned the unowned lands. Upon entering the union, the State continued to own them; that was part of the contract of entering the union. Therefore, we have few national parks and only federal ownership where the U.S. government has purchased or been gifted the land. Our parks are state parks. Texas owns the tidelands in the Gulf of Mexico; the federal government doesn't. Our state receives revenues off of state-owned lands; the federal government doesn't suck it out of us, and we don't have to run through federal bureaucracies to get anything done. This is one reason why we in Texas are so independent. The fact that we were an independent nation also means that the Texas flag flies at the same height as the U.S. flag; not below the US flag as every other state.
