Mark White, Former Texas Governor, Dies at Houston Home
The Houston Chronicle laments the death of Mark White, 43rd governor of Texas, noting his decisive education reforms under HB 72, no pass no play, and rising taxes for teacher pay. Described as a lifelong Democrat and public servant, White remained engaged, visiting the San Jacinto Monument and championing Texas history and schools. He died of a heart attack at home on Saturday, Aug. 5, leaving a legacy of education advocacy and preservation of Texas heritage.
