Texas Actress AnnaClare Hicks Strikes Oil
Before she was a surgeon, she was a volunteer firefighter. Her favorite song is “A Few More Rednecks” by the Charlie Daniels Band. She loves to fish, drives a red Ford F250 (diesel, she specifies), is responsible for restoring the Alamo, and, by the way, manages the 13 million acres of state land that fund the largest educational endowment in the United States. Meet the first female Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office: Dr. Dawn Buckingham.
“The General Land Office (GLO) is the tip of the spear for the state of Texas, charged with protecting our resources, our border and our history,” says Commissioner Buckingham. Created in 1836, GLO was formed to “work through overlapping land grants, literally be the keeper of the maps,” that determined who owned what after the Texians and Tejanos won independence from Mexico. The office of the Commissioner predates the office of Governor.
