Guide to Texas State Agencies published The 10th edition of the Guide to Texas State Agencies was released this spring by the LBJ School Office of Publications. The book is the most comprehensive handbook available on the hundreds of agencies, bureaus, and commissions that handle the programs and operations of state government in Texas. The popular reference book provides detailed directory information--including each agency's address, phone and fax numbers, sunset review and statutory data, state appropriations, and board members' names and service dates--as well as a description of major functions and programs. Sixteen appendices provide a wealth of additional information, including lists of river authorities, higher education institutions, and councils of governments; a chart on the state's court system; a list of World Wide Web sites on Texas state government; and other data. The book, which costs $60, is available from the LBJ School's Office of Publications at 512/471-4218 or from the Guide Web page.
