Review:

"Practicing Texas Politics is my favorite Texas government text. It covers more aspects of Texas government and politics than any other text I know and does so in greater detail. Despite that, it is well written, easy to read, logically organized, and has interesting features."

"The book is very well written, has all the material possibly needed, and is authoritative."

"The book is well written for today's students, using graphics and charts and pictures where appropriate. The updates are timely and help students understand this complex thing we call Texas government."
