Texas
| Texas owes more than it owns. |
| Texas has a -$1,100 Taxpayer Burden.™ |
| Texas is a Sinkhole State without enough assets to cover its debt. |
| Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of state bills after its available assets have been tapped. |
| TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt. |
| Texas only has $169.7 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $180.4 billion. |
| Because Texas doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a -$10.8 billion financial hole. To fill it, each Texas taxpayer would have to send -$1,100 to the state. |
| Texas's reported net position is understated by $16.7 billion, largely because the state delays recognizing gains resulting from decreases in retirement liabilities. |
| The state's financial report was released 181 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered untimely according to the 180 day standard. |
