Offering unrivaled coverage of the Lone Star State, Texas Politics Today, Enhanced, 18th Edition, helps readers think critically, get active, and find their own place in the current political arena. Reflecting the latest trends and issues, this comprehensive resource offers expanded coverage of ideology and social issues, Texas demographic changes, the rising importance of Latinos in Texas politics, and the growing role of social and digital media.

The text includes a special focus on key contemporary issues such as immigration, LGBT politics, gun control policies, abortion laws, and the culture wars within the education system. To illustrate how Texas politics works in real-world practice, first-person essays from the governor, political activists, campaign consultants, and other key figures are included throughout. This edition effectively closes the gap between political theory and practice, demonstrating how Texas compares with other states in the union.
