I don't work in Texas so I am not sure if I have this right, but if I
understand correctly the Texas Historical Commission houses the SHPO,
which the state is mandated by the NHPA to have. So if they get rid of
the TCH, won't they be in violation of federal law?

Considering the wonderful time the SHA had visiting Texas and how

Rick Perry wants to chop 4 Texas agencies

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry will ask the Legislature on Tuesday to
indefinitely suspend funding for four Texas agencies and consolidate
the functions of dozens more as part of a sweeping budget plan that
would make deep spending reductions across state government.
Funding for the Texas Historical Commission and the Texas Commission
on the Arts would be eliminated altogether, according to a summary of
Perry's top government efficiency proposals obtained by The Associated
Press ahead of Perry's State of the State address on Tuesday.
Those two agencies, which provide funding for the promotion of Texas
arts and culture and the upkeep of state historic structures, were
given over $100 million in the previous budget when bond proceeds and
federal dollars are counted.......
