The Texas State Historical Association (TSHA) has avoided a potential court trial after its president and secretary agreed to resign following a dispute over the ideological balance of board members.

The board, which was founded in 1897 and was previously made up of 12 academics and eight non-academics with one vacancy, describes itself as a nonprofit educational organization, “dedicated to documenting the history of Texas.”
