2024-2025 Texas Almanac
Inside you’ll find at least 410 tables of data, 300 maps, contact information for 200 state boards and commissions, and the names of 189 state officials, 1,209 judges, 1,223 mayors, and 3,302 county officials. Our feature article is all about ENERGY. The world has been hearing about energy in Texas since 1901 when the gusher at Spindletop became a cultural and economic phenomenon. An image familiar to any kid on a Texas road trip, oil rigs strike bold poses across the landscape — trophies of an industry that has defined Texas for more than a century. And yet, this image renders an incomplete picture of Texas’ relationship with energy, particularly as the global energy system undergoes a fundamental shift away from dependence on fossil fuels.
The Texas Almanac 1857 to 1873 – A Compendium of Texas History
The Texas Almanac 1857–1873 is a landmark publication in the history of Texas—the best reference and cultural time capsule from the state’s formative years. Originally published by Willard Richardson in Galveston, this series ran annually from 1857 to 1873 and was widely read across Texas, even by legendary figures such as Sam Houston. Over a century later, Governor John Connally called the Almanac “a true picture of Texas,” reflecting its lasting impact. This carefully compiled volume brings together many of the most significant articles from those early years, offering readers a rare glimpse into 19th-century Texas through firsthand accounts, historical data, and detailed commentary.
