Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who engaged in insurrection against the United States from holding office, had significant implications for Texas during Reconstruction. It disqualified many former Confederate officials from participating in government, reshaping the political landscape. This led to increased federal oversight and the establishment of a more inclusive political environment, albeit with tensions and resistance from those opposed to Reconstruction efforts in Texas. The amendment's language aimed to ensure loyalty to the Union and to prevent former Confederates from influencing post-war governance.
