TEXAS FACT BOOK CONTENTS I II CONTENTS TEXAS FACT BOOK THE TRAVIS LETTER FROM THE ALAMO

Commandancy of the Alamo–– Bejar, Feby. 24, 1836

To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World –– Fellow citizens & compatriots –– I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna –– I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man –– The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken –– I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls –– I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch –– The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country –– VICTORY OR DEATH. William Barret Travis, Lt. Col. comdt. P.S. The Lord is on our side –– When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn –– We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves, Travis

TEXAS FACT BOOK REVENUE 37 SPENDING

CONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING LIMITS Texas has four constitutional limits on spending: the “pay-as-you- go,” or balanced budget, limit; the limit on welfare spending; the limit on the rate of growth of appropriations from certain state taxes; and the limit on debt service. The 2004–05 budget is within all of these limits.

THE “PAY-AS-YOU-GO” LIMIT Article III, § 49a of the Texas Constitution sets out the “pay-as-you- go” limit. It requires that bills making appropriations be sent to the Comptroller of Public Accounts for certification that appropriations are within available revenue. In Fall 2003, the Comptroller certified that the 2004–05 General Appropriations Act and other appropriations bills were in compliance with the “pay-as-you-go” limit. The Comptroller estimates that revenue will exceed spending from General Revenue and General Revenue–Dedicated Funds for the 2004–05 biennium by $113.3 million.

WELFARE SPENDING LIMIT Article III, § 51-a of the Texas Constitution provides that the amount that may be paid out of state funds for assistance grants to or on behalf of needy dependent children and their caretakers (i.e., Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) shall not exceed 1 percent of the state budget in any biennium. The total state budget as adopted in House Bill 1 (as modified by other legislation), by the Seventy-eighth Legislature, 2003, is $118,200.4 million. Accordingly, the 1 percent welfare spending limit is $1,182.0 million. The total amount of state dollars appropriated for TANF grants is $177.9 million, which is $1,004.1 million below the 1 percent limit.

LIMIT ON THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONS Article VIII, § 22 of the Texas Constitution limits the biennial rate of growth of appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Constitution to the estimated rate of growth of the state’s economy. On November 25, 2002, the Legislative Budget Board established the following elements of the Article VIII spending limit: the estimated rate of growth of the state’s economy, the level of

38 SPENDING TEXAS FACT BOOK SPENDING

2002–03 appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Constitution, and the resulting 2004–05 limit. The board instructed staff to adjust the level of 2002–03 appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Constitution and 2004–05 spending limit calculations to reflect subsequent 2003 appropriations certified by the Comptroller and official revenue estimate revisions by the Comptroller.

Actions taken in 2003 by the Seventy-eighth Legislature affected the 2002–03 level of appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Constitution. After adjusting for these actions, the 2004–05 biennial limit on appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated by the Constitution is $52.9 billion. Appropriations for 2004–05 from state taxes not dedicated by the Constitution total approximately $48.0 billion, $4.9 billion below the Article VIII limit. The remainder of the state’s $118.2 billion budget is funded with nontax revenue and constitutionally dedicated revenue not subject to the Article VIII limit.

STATE INDEBTEDNESS Texas has a low state debt burden compared with other states, ranking fifteenth among the 15 most-populous states in state debt per capita in 2001. The Texas per capita debt burden was $787 in 2001; the US average was $2,025.

Texas had $17.7 billion in state bonds outstanding as of August 31, 2003. General obligation bonds, which depend on the General Revenue Fund for debt service, represent 32.8 percent of the total bonds outstanding. Non–general obligation, or revenue, bonds represent the remaining 67.2 percent. Approximately 56.8 percent of the outstanding general obligation bond indebtedness is designed to be self-supporting, although the full faith and credit of the state is pledged for its payment.

Debt service costs included in the state budget for the 2004–05 biennium total $987.3 million, or 0.8 percent of total appropriations. The increase in debt service costs from the 2002–03 biennial level is $16.7 million, or 1.7 percent.

TEXAS FACT BOOK SPENDING 39 SPENDING

Chapter 1231 of the Government Code provides that maximum annual debt service in any fiscal year on state debt payable from the General Revenue Fund may not exceed 5 percent of an amount equal to the average of the amount of General Revenue Fund revenues, excluding revenues constitutionally dedicated for purposes other than payment of state debt, for the three immediately preceding fiscal years. Bonds and agreements not initially required to be repaid from General Revenue would be subject to the debt ceiling provision if General Revenue was subsequently needed to repay the obligations. In November 1997, voters approved adding this debt service limitation to the Texas Constitution, now Article III § 49-j.

As of August 31, 2003, following the methodology of the Bond Review Board, a preliminary calculation shows the debt service on outstanding debt as a percentage of unrestricted General Revenue is 1.4 percent for fiscal year 2004. Similarly, debt service on outstanding and authorized but unissued debt as a percentage of General Revenue after constitutional dedication is 2.2 percent. Accordingly, the 2004–05 budget is within the debt limit.
