In 2005 Texas had a gross state product of $982.4 billion, the second
highest in America after California, after recently surpassing New York
state. Gross state product per capita as of 2005 was $42,975. Texas's
growth is often attributed to the availability of jobs, the low cost of
housing (housing values in the Dallas and Houston areas, while
generally rising, have not risen at the astronomical rates of other
cities such as San Francisco), the lack of a personal state income tax,
low taxation and limited regulation of business, a geographic location
in the center of the country, limited government (the Texas Legislature
meets only once every two years), favorable climate in many areas of
the state, and vast, plentiful supplies of oil and natural gas. Texas
has 4.6 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves.
Texas remained largely rural until World War II, with cattle ranching,
oil, and agriculture as its main industries. Cattle ranching (though
important) was never Texas's chief industry – before the oil boom back
to the period of the first Anglo settlers, the chief industry was
cotton farming (as in most of the South).
In 1926, San Antonio had over 120,000 people, the largest population of
any city in Texas. After World War II, Texas became increasingly
industrialized. Its economy today relies largely on information
technology, oil and natural gas, fuel processing, electric power,
agriculture, and manufacturing. The major segment of the economy
depends largely on the region involved – for example, the timber
industry is a major portion of the East Texas economy but a non-factor
elsewhere, while aerospace and defense manufacturing is primarily
centered within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
The state has two major economic centers: Dallas and Houston. Houston
stands at the center of the petrochemical and biomedical research
trades while Dallas functions as the center of the aerospace/defense
manufacturing and information technology labor market in Texas.
As of 2006, Texas, for the first time, has more Fortune 500 company
headquarters (56) than any other state (California has 55; ironically,
it was due to the move of Fluor from California to Texas). This has
been attributed to both the growth in population in Texas and the rise
of oil prices in 2005, which resulted in the growth in revenues of many
Texas oil drilling and processing companies.
Texas is the largest international exporter among the 50 American
states, with international merchandise exports totaling $117.2 Billion
in 2004. In 2002, the Port of Houston was 6th among the top sea ports
in the world in terms of total cargo volume; Air Cargo World rated
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport as "the best air cargo airport
in the world".
Texans pride themselves in a history of tradition, yet they seek new
social and technological developments also. Round Rock (an Austin
suburb) is the headquarters of Dell and the surrounding area is known
as "Silicon Hills". Dallas is a famously cosmopolitan metropolis and
the birthplace of the integrated circuit, Houston is a global leader in
the energy industry. The cultures of San Antonio and El Paso retain
their Mexican heritage while Fort Worth maintains its western heritage.
With a nod to its diversity and its past as a former sovereign nation,
the state tourism slogan is "Texas: It's like a whole other country.®"
(The slogan is used only in domestic advertising, a different slogan is
used for marketing to Latin American countries.)
Texas is one of the top filmmaking states in the United States, just
after California and New York. In the past 10 years alone (1995-2004),
more than $2.75 billion has been spent in Texas for film and television
production. The Texas Film Commission was founded for free services to
filmmakers, from location research to traveling.
Since 2003, Texas state officials have been committed to developing the
economy of Texas with various initiatives such as the Texas Enterprise
Fund and the Texas Emerging Technology Fund, which invest money into
developing Texas business.
