The Texas State Capitol is 326.6 feet tall making it almost 15 feet higher than the U.S. Capitol building. It is however not the only state Capitol to exceed the height of the federal capitol building. I have found some research which indicates the actual dome rises 311 feet while the Goddess of Liberty rises for 15.6 feet but have not been able to verify those numbers. Here is some additional information from the state preservation board. "An extraordinary edifice by any measure, the 1888 Texas Capitol is the largest in gross square footage of all state capitols and is second in total size only to the National Capitol in Washington, DC. Like several other state capitols, the 1888 Texas Capitol surpasses the National Capitol in height, rising almost 15 feet above its Washington counterpart."

Texas is second to Alaska as the largest state in total area. Texas has an area of 268,601 square miles.Texas

Texas has the largest state capitol building by area. The original building itself has 360,000 square feet of floor area, more than any other state capitol building, but the 1993 extension, which was built underground so as to preserve the original building's architecture, adds 667,000 square feet of floor space.
