Texans have not written just one constitution, but seven.

Here is a quick chronological outline of them, and a link to the corresponding entry on the Handbook of Texas Online website, an excellent resource on important people, places, dates and things in Texas history provided by the Texas State Historical Society.

Two constitutions were in effect before Texas was a member of the United States:


  • The Constitution of Coahuila and Texas (1824 - under Mexican rule, so perhaps not written by Texans) (See the related link)
  • The Constitution of the Republic of Texas (1836) (See the related link)
Constitutions after statehood:


  • 1845
  • 1861
  • 1866
  • 1869 (See the related links mentioned above for examples of all constitutions)
The current constitution was adopted in 1876.
