The Texas Legislature appropriated $2 million for the endowment in 1854, and it has since grown through funds generated from land investments across the state, including monies from mineral resources sales and rentals. The State Board of Education (SBOE) runs the endowment and approves all appropriations. The fund usually pays for textbooks for Texas schoolchildren and guarantees bonds issued by local school districts. The SBOE has also considered using it to fund charter schools. The value of the fund, based on investments and market values of land and oil, fluctuates unpredictably.
