The correct answer is: **Government is fragmented, and policy responsibility is divided.**
In Texas, the structure of government is highly decentralized, which means that responsibility for policy and actions can be spread across various levels and branches of government. This fragmentation can make it difficult to hold any specific individual accountable for decisions and actions.
