Government and Politics in the Lone Star State guides you through the historical, economic, demographic and political environments that have made Texas government and political culture what it is. Drawing on their experiences in political science, journalism and consulting, authors Tucker Gibson, Clay Robison and Joanne Connor Green explain Texas's governmental institutions, the players who influence them and how these factors compare to those in other states.

The 12th Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect significant recent events, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Texas citizens and institutions, the state's response to the pandemic, and the 2020 election results. In order to paint an accurate picture of Texas government today, all data and other factual information has been updated throughout the text.
