That's because the most recent Texas Constitution was imposed on Texas by the Reconstruction Government after the Civil War.

Slowly some of that is getting changed.

But things like the Governor not having pardon powers stem from carpetbaggers.

Well, if a gov. runs for president, at least he won't make a Dukakis/Huckabee error.

Is that also the source of the rule allowing House minority members to vote for majority only candidates? Retardation of the highest order.
