>>Actually TX has had a Permanent School Fund since before the Civil War. Most of its money comes from oil and gas royalties on public lands. Though most land in TX is privately owned. Most of the publicly owned land is in SW TX.<<

Ours pays all state costs. We have no state taxes. Can Texas say the same and why not? They have had a lot of oil a lot longer than we.

I think theirs just pay for education. We also gave a lot of land to the universities to sell when they wanted.
