A committee charged with producing a "patriotic" telling of Texas history approved a 15-page pamphlet last month that will now be distributed to new Texas drivers.
The advisory committee — named the 1836 Project after the year Texas gained its independence from Mexico — was created last year with the passing of House Bill 2497. The legislation required the committee to tell a story of "a legacy of economic prosperity" and the "abundant opportunities for businesses and families, among other requirements."
