Although the writers of the Texas Constitution back in the 1870s placed the majority of political power in the hands of the Legislature, they also gave the governor an effective tool to control public policy - the power to veto bills after the Legislature adjourns. Unless the governor vetoes a bill while the Legislature is in session, we have no opportunity to override the veto. That is why it is so powerful.
