Not any more: Texas is expected to collect $72.2 billion in taxes, fees and other general revenue during the 2012-13 budget, down from the $87 billion appropriated in the current two-year budget, Combs announced on the eve of lawmakers' 2011 regular session. That figure is also below what the state has generated in every budget since 2006-07, when Texas had about 3 million fewer residents. statesman.com BTW all states except Vermont are required by law to maintain balanced budgets. Thatt's why the fighting in CA is so contentious.
