  • Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER of ARTS
    /3 9 THE TEXAS REVOLUTION AS AN INTERNAL CONSPIRACY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Patsy Joyce Waller,. B. A. Denton, Texas June, 1965 PREFACE In the past many causes for the Texas Revolution of 1835 1836 have been suggested. Various politicians, such as John Quincy Adams, and such abolitionists as Benjamin Lundy and William Ellery Channing have charged that the struggle for independence represented a deliberate conspiracy on the part of vested economic groups in the United States--a plot on the part of southern slaveholders and northern land specula- tors to take over Texas in order to extend the slaveholding territory of the United States. Those who opposed President Andrew Jackson maintained that the Texas revolt was planned by Jackson in co-operation with Sam Houston for the purpose of obtaining Texas for the United States in order to bring into the Union a covey of slave states that would fortify and perpetuate slavery. The detailed studies of Eugene C. Barker, George L. Rives, William C. Binkley, and other historians have disproved these theories. No documentary evidence exists to show that the settlement of Texas or the Texas Revolution constituted any kind of conspiracy on the part of the United States, neither the government nor its inhabitants. The idea of the Texas Revolution as an internal con- spiracy cannot be eliminated. This thesis describes the role of a small minorit: of the wealthier settlers in Texas in iii precipitating the Texas Revolution for their own economic reasons.

  • Estimating the Economic Boost of Marriage for Same-Sex Couples in Texas
    Estimating the Economic Boost of Marriage for Same-Sex Couples in Texas By E.G. Fitzgerald, Christy Mallory, and M.V. Lee Badgett July 2014 Executive Summary If marriage is extended to same-sex couples in Texas, the state would see an economic boost as same-sex couples plan their weddings and their out-of-state guests purchase goods and services in the state. This study estimates the impact of wedding spending on the state’s economy and on state and local sales tax revenue. • We predict that 23,200 in-state same-sex couples would choose to marry in the three years following the extension of marriage rights to same-sex couples in Texas. • The total spending on wedding arrangements and tourism by resident same-sex couples and their guests would add an estimated $181.6 million to the state and local economy of Texas over the course of three years, with a $116.2 million boost in the first year alone. • This economic boost would add $14.8 million in sales tax revenue to state and local coffers. • Spending related to same-sex couples’ wedding ceremonies and celebrations would generate 523 to 1,570 full- and part-time jobs in the state. ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MARRIAGE FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES IN TEXAS TOTAL Marriages by Same-Sex Couples 23,200 Wedding Spending $140,754,400 Out-of-State Guest Spending $40,832,000 TOTAL COMBINED SPENDING $181,586,400 TOTAL SALES TAX REVENUE $14,799,292 1 Introduction government, extended the rights and As of June 2014, 19 states, the District of obligations of marriage to same-sex couples, Columbia, and the federal government formally the federal government would benefit by nearly 7 recognized marriages between same-sex $1 billion each year.

Abstract This study undertook an economic impact exercise for all Texas ports, updated a similar study done a decade earlier, and so assisted TxDOT with incorporating the most recent marine port impacts into their state transportation planning. The study was awarded to a joint CTR-TTI team but work did not begin until the scope was clarified by TxDOT, following concerns expressed by some members of the Texas Ports Association (TPA). Almost all the larger Texas ports had undertaken economic impact studies and were understandably concerned about any new study providing different answers.

  • The 1.8 Trillion-Dollar Economy of Texas Is the Second Largest in the United States, Second Only to California
    The 1.8 trillion-dollar economy of Texas is the second largest in the United States, second only to California. Therefore, it's no surprise that the state is home to 102 of the 1,000 largest public and private corporations in the United States. These corporations include AT&T, Dell, ExxonMobil, and JCPenney, all of which depend on a variety of business professionals to thrive. For example, AT&T needs people-oriented and relationship-driven account managers to develop and manage existing customer relationships and seek out new opportunities for business. Meanwhile, JCPenney and other major retailers in Texas can benefit from business analysts to assist with pricing strategy and other initiatives that can help maximize profit. And since the commercial banking industry has grown in Texas over the past few years, banking professionals such as commercial bankers, loan officers and tellers are also in high demand at Texas-based financial institutions such as USAA Federal Bank, Inwood National Bank, and Jefferson Bank. Whether you're planning to become a market research analyst, a human resource manager or an accountant, you can bring important support to the operations and growth of large and small organizations throughout the Lone Star State. And one of the most important steps to becoming one of these business professionals can be earning an accredited degree from one of the best business colleges in Texas. 3 Facts about Business in Texas Since the cost of living is affordable and there is no personal income tax, Texas has become home to an increasing number of startup companies.

  • Texas Cultural Trust
    Texas Cultural Trust 2019 State of the Arts Report Art Can A program of the Texas Cultural Trust The Arts Work for Texas The Texas Cultural Trust’s Art Can program conducts research and analyzes data to quantify the impact the arts have on Texas. The 2019 State of the Arts Report demonstrates the impact the arts have in shaping the cultural, economic, and educational future of Texas. To learn more about the research conducted by the Texas Cultural Trust see page 22, About the Research. About the Texas Cultural Trust The Texas Cultural Trust, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1995 to be the leading voice for the arts in education, advocacy, and economic impact in Texas, spotlighting the artistic excellence of our state. 1 Letter from Texas Cultural Trust Board Chair 2 A great education provides children with the opportunity to achieve their personal best. I grew up in an area of Houston with excellent schools and outstanding programs in the arts. All Texans are not so fortunate. For schools with limited access to arts courses, the results can be measured in lower test scores, poor attendance, and higher dropout rates. In contrast, arts access can create a path to future opportunities in a variety of fields. Given all that Art Can do, all Texas children deserve the opportunity to be empowered through arts education. Making access to the arts a priority is the critical mission of the supporters and board members of the Texas Cultural Trust. In the following report, the Trust’s research demonstrates the importance of what Art Can do: higher student achievement, greater graduation rates, a powerful boost to the Texas economy, and preparation for a 21st century workforce.

  • An Economy at Risk: Our Vulnerable Coast and Its Importance to the Texas Economy
    An Economy at Risk: Our Vulnerable Coast and Its Importance to the Texas Economy December 2006 A study commissioned by IIAT Executive Summary Independent Insurance Agents of Texas (IIAT) commissioned the study produced by The Perryman Group in December 2006. The Texas Gulf Coast area serves as an economic engine for the entire state. • About 40% of Texas jobs are directly tied to its production categories. • 44% of the state's total income is linked to key Gulf Coast sectors. • The Port of Houston is one of the world's busiest ports in cargo volume and six Texas ports are ranked among the Top 50 in total tons. • Produces 87% of Texas and 25% of the nation's refined petroleum. Provides diesel fuel for High Plains agribusiness and jet fuel for Dallas- based airlines. • Regional economic success is directly linked to Gulf Coast industries, with critical dependence for output ranging from about 33% in the Upper Rio Grande Region to more than 56% in the Golden Crescent and Texoma regions. The Texas Gulf Coast, with its concentration of major industries crucial to the economic health of the state, merits affordable insurance rates because every part of the state depends on the region's productivity. • Major industries: Manufacturing, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, shipping and tourism among others. Effects of a Katrina-like storm would be catastrophic for the state's overall economy, not only the Gulf Coast. Losses would include: • $52.2 billion in gross state product • $43.8 billion in personal income • 617,000 jobs • $1.8 billion a year in fiscal revenue • As much as $450 million per year from premium tax offsets over an extended period If a storm hit the Port of Houston, an even larger percentage of regional economic activity would be at risk.
