On state-owned lands, situated mostly in the Permian Basin of West Texas, the UT System leases roughly 2 million acres for mining, natural gas extraction, oil drilling, and cattle grazing. The money from those leases goes to the Permanent University Fund (PUF), an endowment created in Texas constitution.

The return on those investments, not the principal, is disbursed annually to the Available University Fund (AUF). The amount of that income that gets disbursed is usually around 5 percent. Once again, one-third of the AUF goes to the A&M System, and two-thirds to the UT System. Because of a rule put in place by the Board of Regents, no less than 45 percent of the UT Systems share goes directly to the Austin campus.
