Basically, this helps with diversity because a person can graduatew in the top 10 percent of a heavily minority school can be admitted to any state school in Texas automatically. They are, however, about to change this since some of the large schools like UT and Texas A&M have percentages of automatic admissions students larger than they should be.

The Texas system is going back to the pre-Hopwood admissions system, effective the 2004-2005 academic year.
