CONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING LIMITSCONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING LIMITSCONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING LIMITSCONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING LIMITSCONSTITUTIONAL SPENDING LIMITSTexas has four constitutional limits on spending: the “pay-as-

you-go,” or balanced budget limit; the limit on welfare spending;

the limit on the rate of growth of appropriations from certain state

taxes; and the limit on debt service. The 2006–07budget is within

all of these limits.

THE “PAY-AS-YOU-GO” LIMITTHE “PAY-AS-YOU-GO” LIMITTHE “PAY-AS-YOU-GO” LIMITTHE “PAY-AS-YOU-GO” LIMITTHE “PAY-AS-YOU-GO” LIMITArticle III, § 49a of the Texas Constitution sets out the “pay-as-

you-go” limit. It requires that bills making appropriations be

sent to the Comptroller of Public Accounts for certification that

appropriations are within available revenue. In Fall 2005, the

Comptroller certified that the 2006–07 General Appropriations

Act and other appropriations bills were in compliance with the

“pay-as-you-go” limit. The Comptroller estimates that revenue

will exceed spending from General Revenue and General

Revenue–Dedicated Funds for the 2006–07 biennium by

approximately $4.0 billion.

WELFARE SPENDING LIMITWELFARE SPENDING LIMITWELFARE SPENDING LIMITWELFARE SPENDING LIMITWELFARE SPENDING LIMITArticle III, § 51-a of the Texas Constitution provides that the

amount that may be paid out of state funds for assistance grants

to or on behalf of needy dependent children and their caretakers

(i.e., Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) shall not exceed

1 percent of the state budget in any biennium. The total state

budget as adopted in Senate Bill 1 (as modified by other

legislation),bythe Seventy-ninth Legislature, 2005, is $138,161.9

million. Accordingly, the 1 percent welfare spending limit is

$1,381.6 million. The total amount of state dollars appropriated

for TANF grants is $137.3 million, which is $1,244.3 million below

the 1 percent limit.

LIMIT ON THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONSLIMIT ON THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONSLIMIT ON THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONSLIMIT ON THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONSLIMIT ON THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONSArticle VIII, § 22 of the Texas Constitution limits the biennial

rate of growth of appropriations from state tax revenue not

dedicated by the Constitution to the estimated rate of growth of

the state’s economy. On November 17, 2004, the Legislative

36 SPENDING36 SPENDING36 SPENDING3636 SPENDINGSPENDING TEXAS FACT BOOKTEXAS FACT BOOKTEXAS FACT BOOKTEXAS FACT BOOKTEXAS FACT BOOK


Budget Board established the following elements of the Article

VIII spending limit: the estimated rate of growth of the state’s

economy, the level of 2004–05 appropriations from state tax

revenue not dedicated by the Constitution, and the resulting

2006–07 limit. The board instructed staff to adjust the level of

2004–05 appropriations from state tax revenue not dedicated

by the Constitution and 2006–07 spending limit calculations to

reflect subsequent 2005 appropriations certified by the

Comptroller and official revenue estimate revisions by the

Comptroller.

Actions taken in 2005 by the Seventy-ninth Legislature affected

the 2004–05 level of appropriations from state tax revenue not

dedicated by the Constitution. After adjusting for these actions,

the 2006–07 biennial limit on appropriations from state tax

revenue not dedicated by the Constitution is $55.6 billion.

Appropriations for 2006–07 from state taxes not dedicated by

the Constitution total approximately $53.0 billion, $2.6 billion

below the Article VIII limit. The remainder of the state’s $138.2

billion budget is funded with nontax revenue and constitutionally

dedicated revenue not subject to the Article VIII limit.

STATE INDEBTEDNESSSTATE INDEBTEDNESSSTATE INDEBTEDNESSSTATE INDEBTEDNESSSTATE INDEBTEDNESSTexas has a low state debt burden compared with other states, ranking fifteenth among the 15 most populous states in state debt per capita in 2003. The Texas per capita debt burden was $661.3 in 2003; the US average was $2,404.7.

Texas had $21.4billion in state bonds outstanding as of August 31,

2005. General obligation bonds, which depend on the General

Revenue Fund for debt service, represent 32.7 percent of the total

bonds outstanding. Non–general obligation, or revenue, bonds

represent the remaining 67.3percent. Approximately 64.1percent

of the outstanding general obligation bond indebtedness is

designed to be self-supporting, although the full faith and credit

of the state is pledged for its payment.

Debt service costs included in the state budget for the 2006–07

biennium total $1,268.1 million, or 0.9 percent of total

appropriations. The increase in debt service costs from the

2004–05 biennial level is $309.1 million, or 35.9 percent.

Chapter 1231 of the Government Code provides that maximum

annual debt service in any fiscal year on state debt payable from

the General Revenue Fund may not exceed 5 percent of an

amount equal to the average of the amount of General Revenue

Fund revenues, excluding revenues constitutionally dedicated

for purposes other than payment of state debt, for the three

immediately preceding fiscal years. Bonds and agreements not

initially required to be repaid from General Revenue would be

subject to the debt ceiling provision if General Revenue was

subsequently needed to repay the obligations. In November

1997, voters approved adding this debt service limitation to the

Texas Constitution, now Article III § 49-j.

As of August 31, 2005, following the methodology of the Bond

Review Board, the debt service on outstanding debt as a

percentage of unrestricted General Revenue is 1.5 percent for

fiscal year 2005. Similarly, debt service on outstanding and

authorized but unissued debt as a percentage of General

Revenue after constitutional dedication is 2.2 percent.

Accordingly, the 2006–07 budget is within the debt limit.
