I hope. At least it means new money to build the research capabilities of the second-tier universities. For a full description of HB 51 and what it means, read Rodger Jones’  post here. But this is only a beginning. At some point a governor (by that, I mean a new governor) is going have to lead the Legislature in making a choice of which university will be promoted to Tier One status. And that university needs to be where the research it does will do the most good. That means Dallas. Meanwhile, congratulations to Dallas Rep. Dan Branch for getting things in motion.
