Fiscal Notes
December 2006

Texas Stats


Some revenue and expenditure items have been reclassified, changing year-to-date totals. The ending cash balance is not affected because changes reflected in "total net revenues" and "total net expenditures" offset changes in "net interfund transfers and investments transactions" in the cash condition table.

Revenues and expenditures are reported for the most recent month available and as a running total for the current fiscal year-to-date. In addition, year-to-date figures are compared to the same period in the last fiscal year. These comparisons are reported as percentage changes, which may be positive or negative (shown by a minus sign).

Trust fund transactions are included within revenues and expenditures in the "all funds" presentation. Trust funds are not available to the state for general spending.
