A Revised Texas Constitution

The present Texas Constitution was adopted in 1876 and has been amended many times, in ways that have made it a confused mess, containing much that does not belong in a constitution. A revised constitution is being drafted for consideration by the voters.

• Proposed Texas Constitution (under construction).
• Present Texas Constitution
• Citizens' Guide to Constitution submitted to referendum in 1975, and rejected by the voters, by George D. Braden
• Reorganized Texas Constitution without Substantive Change (1978)
• Roland's proposal for initiative amendment to California Constitution — Contains provisions similar to those to be in the proposed Texas Constitution.
• U.S. State Constitutions — Links to other state constitutions for comparison. See especially Alaska, often held up as a model.
• Texas Constitution 2000 — A well-intentioned but incompetent effort, for comparison.
