Here are a few links relating to a seminal case where the Texas Supreme Court argued Texas' financing scheme for public schools violated the Texas Constitution. It followed on the heals of a less successful case - Rodriquez v. San Antonio ISD - where the US Supreme Court argued that education was not a fundamental right. It led to the Robin Hood plan, which required wealthier school districts to share resources with poorer districts.
