Texas officials will not dry dock the 100-year-old Battleship Texas due to funding gaps. Instead they will continue patching leaks at San Jacinto battleground mooring, with costs rising from $25 million approved in 2007 to an estimated $75 million. The ship remains open to visitors as repairs proceed.
