The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of seven Texas ports to secure sufficient funds to finance their needed capital improvements and to consider alternatives if they cannot. To establish the precise legal nature of the Texas ports, their development as local governmental entities is related in Chapter II. The principal legal powers possessed by the navigation districts which operate the ports are also described. Financial projections for the Texas ports through 1990 are presented in Chapter III. Also included are a statement of the projection methodology, the principal findings of the projections and the use of debt by the ports. In Chapter IV the possibility of state support for the Texas ports is considered. This chapter includes a section on the rationale of state support and the identification of some areas of concern for Texas in this matter.
