In politics, Governor of Texas is the title given to the chief executive of the state of Texas. The history of Texas as part of the United States began in 1845 but settlement of the region dates back to the end of the Upper Paleolithic Period French Texas was the period of Texas history from 1685 until 1689 Spanish Texas was one of the interior provinces of New Spain from 1690 until 1821 Mexican Texas is the given name by Texas history scholars to the period between 1821 and 1836 when Texas was governed by Mexico. The Republic of Texas was a sovereign Nation in North America between the United States and Mexico that existed from 1836 to The state of Texas seceded from the United States on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States of America on March Texas ( is a state geographically located in the South Central United States and is also known as the Lone Star State. The Democratic Party is one of two major Political parties in the United States, the other being the Republican Party. In Politics, an independent is a Politician who is not Affiliated with any Political party. A chief executive officer ( CEO) or chief executive is typically the highest-ranking corporate officer ( executive) or administrator Texas ( is a state geographically located in the South Central United States and is also known as the Lone Star State. As in many Southern states, Louisiana excepted, the Governor's power is quite limited. The State of Louisiana ( or, État de Louisiane, pronounced) is a state located in the southern region of the United States of America When the office was created by the Texas Constitution of 1876, the authors dispersed much of the power traditionally given to the office of the governor to independently elected officials, creating what some refer to as a "plural executive. The Constitution of the State of Texas is the document that describes the structure and function of the government of the U " [1] With the exception of the Secretary of State, the remaining members of the Governor's cabinet are also elected by popular vote. In addition, because the Lieutenant Governor runs on a separate ticket, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor can be (and have been) from different political parties.
In Texas, gubernatorial elections are held in the same year as mid-term elections (when Congressional, but not Presidential, elections are held, i. e. 2002, 2006, 2010,. . . ). As is the case in most states, Texas governors are elected to four-year terms (prior to 1974 they were elected to two-year terms). There are no term limits on the office; current Governor Rick Perry was re-elected to a second full term in 2006 and has declared he will run again in 2010 (at the end of his current term, he will be Texas' longest-serving governor, with roughly ten consecutive years in office).
A significant limitation on gubernatorial power involves the commutation of prisoner sentences, an issue which arises whenever a death penalty sentence is to be carried out. Capital punishment, the death penalty or execution, is the Killing of a person by judicial process as Punishment. The Governor can only overturn a death sentence upon the positive recommendation of the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole, the Governor can choose to ignore the Board's clemency recommendation and carry out the execution, but the opposite is not true—the Governor cannot commute or overturn a sentence if the Board does not recommend such. The only unilateral option the Governor has is to issue one 30-day stay of execution.
The governor does have one key power that the Texas Legislature does not have—the governor can call the Legislature into special session for 30 days, as many times as the governor desires (the Legislature cannot call itself into session). The Texas Legislature is the state legislature of the US state of Texas. These special sessions can only address issues located on the governor's "call", which can be changed at any time by the governor.
