long description of table

More than one-third of the $62 billion in state revenues in Texas in fiscal 2004 came from federal payments for programs administered by the state such as Medicaid, No Child Left Behind, and Temporary Aid to Needy Families. Another quarter was generated by the state sales tax. Excluding federal funds, of the $40 billion from Texas sources, the sales tax accounted for nearly forty percent. Taxes on sales of motor vehicles and fuel compose an additonal fourteen percent of in-state revenue and revenue from licenses, fees, permits, fines, and penalties has grown to nearly fourteen percent as well.
