Although the Texas Percent Plan has only partially recovered the racial diversity that was lost when race-conscious affirmative action was banned in the state, scholars have suggested that a secondary effect of the policy was to increase access to the state’s flagship institutions for students from high schools without a tradition of regularly sending students to those schools. We use administrative data from UT-Austin and Texas A&M that lists the high schools that sent students to each college to study changes in enrollment at these institutions for students from different high schools. We find little evidence that the Texas Percent Plan has resulted in meaningful changes in the population of high schools that send students to Texas flagship institutions.
