have heard that what is disturbing people is that the revised Texas texts will be used nationwide for the next ten year.

Texas pays most (if not all) the fees for having the textbooks published.

Instead of paying for having their own textbooks published, the other States just have the Texas ones reprinted.....it's much cheaper that way.

but I am not sure that people in other parts of the country would necessarily want their textbooks to reflect a Texas bias even if they are in general political agreement

There isn't any 'bias'. All Texas did was to present both sides of historical issues and took out the liberalistic slant.
