Whether Texas should call a state constitutional convention is a complex issue that merits careful consideration. Proponents argue it could address outdated provisions and allow for modernization of the state's constitution, which has not been comprehensively revised since 1876. However, opponents raise concerns about the potential for unintended consequences and the risk of radical changes that could emerge from an open convention. Ultimately, the decision should reflect the will of Texas citizens and their confidence in the process.
