Actually, the State owns most of its buildings. Most government buildings from the state level on up to the federal level are very tight on security. Using simple office buildings next to a highway are not secure enough for government offices. Of course there are the exceptions, mostly for "light" departments or offices. Most of the large departments in state government though occupy buildings that the state not only owns, but built specifically for themselves. The Capitol Complex for instance, which occupies 40 blocks in downtown, employs about 50,000 people. It covers an 8x5 block area on the northern edge of downtown. The state also owns 5 or 6 midrises in Central Austin, about 30 blocks north of downtown, among others here and there.
