The Texas Constitution

The Texas Constitution is the fundamental legal document that establishes the state's government structure, defines the rights of its citizens, and sets the rules for how laws are made and enforced. It outlines the powers of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, along with provisions for local governments and individual rights. As one of the longest state constitutions in the U.S., it has been amended many times to address changing needs. Its purpose is to provide a framework that ensures order, protects freedoms, and guides governance in Texas.
