8 constitutions have been adopted......... Hi willie
Texas has had several constitutions throughout its history, particularly during its time as an independent republic. It was an independent nation from 1836 to 1845, during which it adopted its own constitution. After joining the United States, Texas operated under the U.S. Constitution, but it has also had its own state constitutions, with the current one adopted in 1876. Additionally, prior to its independence, Texas was part of Mexico, which had its own constitution, influencing Texas's legal framework during that period.
Texas has had seven constitutions since its establishment. The first was adopted in 1827 for the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. Following Texas' independence in 1836, the Republic of Texas adopted its own constitution, with subsequent versions in 1845 (upon joining the U.S.), 1861 (during the Civil War), 1866 (after the war), 1876 (the current constitution), and a revised version in 1975. Each constitution reflects the changing political and social landscape of Texas throughout its history.
