    Why did the Texas Legislature establish the Permanent University Fund?

    The PUF was created by law to support the two public higher education institutions in Texas at that time, The University of Texas and the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College.

    What was the source of the Permanent University Fund?

    In 1876, the Texas Constitution set aside land in West Texas to support The University of Texas and Texas A&M systems of higher education. Today, that land – encompassing 2.1 million acres – is leased to oil and gas companies whose wells generate revenue that flows into the PUF.

    How much money is in the Texas Permanent University Fund?

    The oil boom is generating big profits for energy companies and record tax revenue for Texas, and it's created a billion-dollar windfall for the state's giant Permanent University Fund. But the extra gains won't result in more money for colleges served by the $31.8 billion endowment, at least not in the near term.
