have we been reading the same thread? it seems that answer has been done to death!
a) large student population of Texas vs. everywhere else except California which at the moment is not in the financial position to be influencing anyone
b) publishing prices which dictate that very large runs of books are going to be much more cost effective than having smaller states go with different publishers, or different books
c) lack of staff in other states to review the number of books for quality to suggest other choices.
d) I know there were some other very good reasons, but these are the ones that immediately spring to mind
