Texas has been governed under seven different constitutions throughout its history:

  1. The Constitution of Coahuila y Tejas (1827) when it was part of Mexico.
  2. The Republic of Texas Constitution (1836) after gaining independence.
  3. The Constitution of the State of Texas (1845) upon joining the United States.
  4. The Confederate Constitution (1861) during the Civil War.
  5. The Reconstruction Constitution (1866) post-Civil War, reinstating Texas to the Union.
  6. The Constitution of 1869, which was more centralized and aligned with Reconstruction policies.
  7. The current Constitution of Texas (1876), which remains in effect today, emphasizing limited government and decentralization.
