The Texas General Land Office (GLO) is a state agency dedicated to promoting Texas prosperity since 1836. It serves as the steward of state lands, playing a crucial role in protecting Texas's natural heritage and ensuring the long-term prosperity of its citizens. The GLO's responsibilities extend to funding public schools through various initiatives and managing significant resources for the benefit of all Texans.

Key initiatives of the GLO include comprehensive support for Texas Veterans and their families, offering benefits such as home loans and long-term care. The agency is also at the forefront of disaster recovery and mitigation efforts, administering over $14.3 billion in funding for multiple disasters to rebuild homes, communities, and lives across the state. Furthermore, the GLO is deeply involved in the energy sector, committed to maintaining Texas's leadership in oil and gas production, which is vital for the state's economy and energy independence.

Beyond land stewardship and energy, the GLO prioritizes education and veteran programs, recognizing their importance for a bright future. It also plays a role in securing the state's border, working to protect public safety, property rights, and livelihoods. Under the leadership of Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, the GLO continues its multifaceted efforts to serve Texans and uphold the state's foundational values.
