Texas has a history of producing nationally prominent leaders. It is also important for its burgeoning population and its natural resources. Few can argue that its politics are not fascinating.The years from 1938 to 1957 were the most primitive period of rule by the Texas Establishment, a loosely knit plutocracy of the Anglo upper classes answering only to the vested interests in banking, oil, land development, law, the merchant houses, and the press. Establishment rule was reflected in numerous and harsh antilabor laws, the suppression of academic freedom, a segregationist philosophy, elections marred by demagoguery and corruption, the devolution of the daily press, and a state government that offered its citizens, especially minorities, very few services. Important elements in the contemporary political scene originated between 1938 and 1957.

Preface
State political histories about recent times have not received much attention from professional historians. Most historians are not very interested in state history, and, perhaps, the political histories of many states are not very interesting. Necessary primary records are also doubtless unavailable in some states. Texas, however, with its history of producing nationally prominent leaders and with its burgeoning population and natural resources, is important as states go, and few would argue that its politics are not fascinating. Also a wealth of primary resource materials has been opened in the state during the past several years.
