Does the Texas constitution have a weak executive?

Yes, the Texas Constitution establishes a relatively weak executive branch compared to other states. The governor's powers are limited, as many executive functions are distributed among independently elected officials, such as the lieutenant governor, attorney general, and various commissioners. This fragmentation reduces the governor's overall control and authority, making it challenging to implement a cohesive executive agenda. Consequently, the Texas executive operates more like a plural executive system, emphasizing shared power rather than a strong, centralized authority.
