There was no thought in Texas about holding its gubernatorial election in on-or-off years.

The Republic of Texas (formed in 1836) approached the United States in 1837 about becoming a state, but fearing a war with Mexico, Washington declined, However in 1844 President John Tyler entered negotiations with Texas and on 26 February 26 1845, just six days before he left office, the U.S. Congress approved the annexation. The Texas legislature approved annexation in July 1845 and wrote their state's constitution. In October, Texas residents approved the annexation and the new constitution, and was officially inducted into the United States on December 29, 1845. It's first gubernatorial election was held in 1846.
