The college was perceived by Sports Illustrated as "America's Best Sports College" in 2002.The first say of a state funded college in Texas can be followed to the 1827 constitution for the Mexican condition of Coahuila y Tejas. In spite of the fact that Title 6, Article 217 of that Constitution guaranteed to set up state funded training in expressions of the human experience and sciences, no move was made by the Mexican government. After Texas acquired its freedom from Mexico in 1836, the Texas Congress embraced the Constitution of the Republic, which, under Section 5 of its General Provisions, expressed "It might be the obligation of Congress, when circumstances will allow, to give, by law, a general arrangement of training." On April 18, 1838, "An Act to Establish the University of Texas" was alluded to an exceptional board of the Texas Congress, however was not reported back for further activity. On January 26, 1839, the Texas Congress consented to set aside fifty associations of area (approx. 288,000 sections of land) towards the foundation of a freely supported college. Likewise, 40 sections of land (160,000 m2) in the new capital of Austin were saved and assigned "School Hill." (The expression "Forty Acres" is casually used to allude to the University all in all. The first forty sections of land is the zone from Guadalupe to Speedway and 21st Street to 24th Street ) 

In 1845, Texas was added into the United States. Interestingly, the state's Constitution of 1845 neglected to say the subject of advanced education. On February 11, 1858, the Seventh Texas Legislature affirmed O.B. 102, a demonstration to set up the University of Texas, which put aside $100,000 in United States securities toward development of the state's first freely supported college (the $100,000 was a portion from the $10 million the state got in accordance with the Compromise of 1850 and Texas' giving up cases to arrives outside its present limits). What's more, the assembly assigned land already held for the support of railroad development toward the college's gift. On January 31, 1860, the state council, needing to abstain from raising expenses, passed a demonstration approving the cash put aside for the University of Texas to rather be utilized for outskirts guard as a part of west Texas to shield pilgrims from Indian assaults. Texas' severance from the Union and the American Civil War deferred reimbursement of the obtained monies. Toward the end of the Civil War in 1865, The University of Texas' gift comprised of somewhat over $16,000 in warrants and nothing substantive had yet been done to arrange the college's operations. This push to build up a University was again ordered by Article 7, Section 10 of the Texas Constitution of 1876 which guided the lawmaking body to "set up, sort out and accommodate the upkeep, backing and bearing of a college of the top notch, to be situated by a vote of the general population of this State, and styled "The University of Texas." Additionally, Article 7, Section 11 of the 1876 Constitution built up the Permanent University Fund, a sovereign riches asset oversaw by the Board of Regents of the University of Texas and committed for the support of the college. Since some state lawmakers saw a lavishness in the development of scholastic structures of different colleges, Article 7, Section 14 of the Constitution explicitly disallowed the governing body from utilizing the state's general income to store development of any college structures.
