Textbook publishers use the TX recommendations to shape what goes in the nation's textbooks, as Texas is the largest purchaser of social studies textbooks in the nation (or any textbook,for that matter). Basically, what other states say doesn't really matter because Texas is the 2-ton gorilla that must be catered to.
