Houston
Houston has never been the capital of Texas. WRONG!!! Before Texas integrated itself in to the union, and relinquished its domain over the chunks of Oklahoma Kansas Wyoming Colorado and about half of New Mexico that made up what was the Republic of Texas, five sites served as temporary capitals of Texas (Washington-on-the-Brazos, Harrisburg, Galveston, Velasco and Columbia) before president Sam Houston moved the capital to Houston in 1837. In 1839, the capital was moved to the new town of Austin by the next president Mirabeau B. Lamar. So, as far as I know, only once...
Columbia, what is now known as West Cloumbia was the capital before Houston. It was moved to Houston Because president Sam Houston ordered it to be moved December 15, 1836 and it started operating from Houston April 19, 1837. Hope this helps :)
