I'm still pissed that San Marcos got our name.  Texas State was supposed to be the new NTSU name but got blocked by politicians from tu and aggy.  Then they gave it to Drunken State University.

They do not have their own system, but are part of the Texas State University System along with Sam Houston, Sul Ross, & Lamar universities. Their official name is Texas State University-San Marcos. The other 3 schools chose not to change their official names.

Correct, and if one later wants to add TSU-name then San Marcos is supposed to add their name.

 

The Texas State University System (TSUS) is made up of seven institutions: 

 

• Lamar University: Located in Beaumont 
   
• Sam Houston State University: Located in Huntsville, Conroe, and The Woodlands 
   
• Lamar State College Orange: Located in Orange, Livingston, and Lumberton 
   
• Sul Ross State University: Located in Alpine 
   
• Texas State University: Located in San Marcos 
   
• Lamar Institute of Technology: Located in Beaumont 
   
• Lamar State College Port Arthur: Located in Port Arthur 
   

The TSUS is the only public university system in Texas that doesn't have a flagship university.

When we changed from NTSC to NTSU in the 60s we originally asked for UNT and that was blocked by UT politicians.

In 1987 we asked for UNT when requesting for the name change that went into effect in 1988 (although TSU was discussed internally as another option at that time. I had a conversation with Pres. Hurley at the time about these options while I was a student. I preferred UNT personally because "North Texas" had been the one consistent part of all the institution's names for so long.).
