This highly comprehensive document walks through the appropriations bill passed by each session of the legislature. It details both the sources of spending for the general revenue budget, as well of where the money is spent. It also discusses the political issues involved in arriving at that level of spending, among other things. It includes lists of each of the state agencies - and compartmentalizes them. It provides - in my opinion - the best way to get a handle on the size and scope of Texas government.

This section walks through a recent version of it.
