Texas always has problems when it comes to adopting textbooks. Fighting about it seems to be a favorite pasttime.
The reason they seem to 'throw their weight around' is that they DO set standards the publishers have to meet to get on the approved list. If pubishers don't meet the standards the state won't pay for the books. This does not mean a school cannot buy what they want, just that it comes out of some other budget. If another state's approved books meet the standards, then Texas would approve them for use.
