Is there a size limit in mysql_fetch_array?

I'm using mysql_fetch_array (with mysql_query) to retrieve data and very simply display it in an HTML table, which has been working fine up until I started fetching data from a TEXT column that has greater than 255 characters in it. I can see in my database that all the data is there, but mysql_fetch_array will only grab the first 255 bytes of it. Is there a limit built into mysql_fetch_array? What can you recommend I use instead, to make sure I'm always getting the complete contents of a database column?
