A spin-off of the popular Texas chapters in the O’Connor/Sabato/Keith/Haag, American Government: Continuity and Change, Texas Edition, the fourth edition of Texas Politics and Government examines the unique character of Texas politics and government and traces how it has changed or remained constant over its history.  The authors argue that in order to understand Texas politics and government today, we must understand how they have evolved over time.
