AUSTIN — Commissioner George P. Bush will teach a live Texas history class, "Opportunity in Texas: Land and Its Legacy in Texas History," on Thurs., Oct. 29 at 2 p.m.

The class will be co-taught with K-12 Outreach Coordinator Buck Cole and live-streamed from the Texas General Land Office (GLO) via YouTube.
