Texas is dumping Enterprise Capital Management as its 529 manager. The Dallas Morning News reports that the Lone Star State is searching for a new manager to replace Enterprise once the contract expires on August 31. A spokesperson for Texas Comptroller Susan Combs told the paper that the state wants a "low-cost plan," and the article lists the plan's current annual non-fund management expenses as totaling 0.45 percent of assets (plus $30 per account for non-Texans).
