Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bureaucracies in Texas have significant influence over policy outcomes because they are responsible for implementing and enforcing policies determined by the legislature and governor. They also have some discretion in how policies are executed, which gives them the ability to shape policy outcomes to some degree. However, they do not make all public policy decisions and their influence can be constrained by the power centralized in the governor.
