Why Texas gives a vehicle very little public land and some of the best roads on it

Texas is the state where the public land argument ends. The Congressional Research Service counts 3,191,777 federal acres here, 1.9 percent of the state’s 168,217,600. Texas Parks and Wildlife puts it from the other direction and says Texas is a private lands state, with over 93 percent of it privately owned. There is no BLM country to wander, no national forest that covers a quarter of a county, and the 13 million acres of state land the General Land Office manages are leased holdings rather than parks.
