Since its independence from Mexico in 1836, Texas has had seven constitutions. These are: the Constitution of the Republic of Texas (1836), the Constitution of 1845 (when Texas became a state), the Constitution of 1861 (during the Civil War), the Constitution of 1866 (post-Civil War), the Constitution of 1876 (currently in effect), and two amendments to it in 1919 and 1975. The 1876 Constitution has been amended numerous times but remains the foundational legal document for the state.
