This easy-to-digest booklet on Texas taxes and public spending will help you think about the challenges facing us as Texans. Our public systems and structures—such as our public education systems, courts and criminal justice systems, and transportation networks—help make this a great state, securing the common good for us all. This primer discusses what we need to do to enhance our prosperity and how to pay for it.
