Howdy. This is my University, so I thought I'd update the info on it, as some of it was slightly incorrect, and the notable alumni section was out of date. I plan to update this more when I get more time, and I'll try to look at some other pages of larger Universities and get this page in a similar format. Salami swami 19:38, Mar 4, 2004 (UTC)
I can tell this entry was done by a fellow TSU student from its grammar. Edits to come.

I've removed the following: San Marcos is the only habitat for the endangered San Marcos salamander. I'll move it instead to the article about San Marcos (if it isn't already there). --Gyrofrog 19:19, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Moved from Texas State University talk page, which is now a redirect: "Texas State University has at least one famous alumni, Lyndon B. Johnson 36th president of the United States. Texas State was then known as Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos. Jonathan Hullihan, 2004 Texas State Alumni" -drivinghighway61 06:00, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up POV
Much of this text is taken directly from Texas State's (excellent) marketing materials. The tone through most of the article is laudatory rather than encyclopedic. I will clean up if I get a chance. Danlovejoy 19:29, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- I did some editing to rectify this issue. I think it's to the point where the pov tag is no longer needed.Simoes 02:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Athletics
Changed the athletics part to show that football actually plays in Division 1 AA not division 1.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Txstate.jpeg
Image:Txstate.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] first sentence
"doctoral degree granting university" doesn't sound like the best wording. Perhaps just "doctoral" (see ut austin article).
[edit] Texas State Endowment?
Why isn't it listed on here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.239.201.177 (talk) 15:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Name Change
So, student government got the name changed, eh. That is an...amusing...take on the event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.188.231.221 (talk) 02:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
