The files included in this section are organized as Series 5 and located in Boxes 1-44.
The Texas State Government files consist of correspondence, memoranda, studies pertaining to Texas internal projects and/or proposed legislation or regulations, annual reports of agencies and some clippings. They are organized by agency name in “Notes”. A large part of Representative Leland’s work was interceding with state agencies to cut through red tape and help constituents solve problems. Much of the State Government Series will by necessity be in the Oral History Series, under Audio Visual, as the records of Representative Leland’s state years have not yet been recovered.
