| | Handbook of Texas Online: TEXAS LEGISLATURE |
| | Members of the Twelfth Legislature (1870-71) were elected in 1869 at the same election at which the voters approved the new constitution. | | | The Texas legislature is the dominant branch of state government within the state constitutional framework of separation of powers. | | | The charter established a bicameral legislature composed of a House of Representatives of from forty-five to ninety members who were elected from counties, cities, or towns for two-year terms and a small Senate of nineteen to thirty-three members elected from districts for four-year staggered terms so that one-half were up for election every two years. |

| | Texas Legislature organization |
| | The lieutenant governor is the second-highest ranking officer of the executive branch of government and, like the governor, is chosen for a four-year term by popular vote in a statewide election. | | | The first thing that the speaker of the house and the lieutenant governor ask their respective houses of the legislature to do is to decide on the rules that the legislators will follow during the session. | | | The legislature meets every odd-numbered year to write new laws and to find solutions to the problems facing the state. |

| | The Red State: Texas Legislature |
| | The controversial question of how to pay for Texas public schools in a way that is both constitutional and equitable now heads to the Texas Supreme Court while state officials try to assess the impact their inaction will have on next year's elections. | | | The Texas Supreme Court will hear an appeal this summer of a 2004 ruling by a state district judge in Austin that the state finance system must be changed. | | | Now the Republican led Legislature has failed once again to pass a meaningful education plan, let us watch them wait the court rule on the question: " Is the Legislature giving schools the resources necessary to educate Texas' children, as required by the state constitution?" They already said no and the state appealed. |

| | Texas Legislature |
| | The legislative process in Texas is greatly influenced by the powers of the lieutenant governor in the Texas Senate, and the speaker in the Texas House of Representatives. | | | In 1997, there were 58 Republicans in the House, and a majority of 17 in the Senate. | | | The Texas constitution creates many limitations on the legislature, which contributes to the high turnover rate, and relative inexperience among legislators. |

| | Sometimes the intention of the Legislature is not accurately or completely reflected in the administration of new laws. | | | The Texas Sunset Advisory Commission conducts the review, but final action on any of the legislative recommendations from the Commission is the prerogative of the Texas Legislature. | | | Instead, Chairman Warren Chisum (R-Pampa) waited until SB 1541 was approved by the Senate and sent to the House. |

Grant declined to intervene, Davis fled and Texas became a Democratic state. | | | Davis was reviled for his expansion of executive power, most notably the establishment of a state police force. | | | For 130 years Republicans had been slaves in the land of Egypt, and now they were masters; for Democrats, the roles were reversed. |

| | Few around the Capitol expect Perry to call a third special session on school finance reform until the Texas Supreme Court rules this fall on whether the current system is unconstitutional. | | | Under the bill, approved by the Senate August 9 and by the House a day later, governmental entities would be prohibited from condemning private property for economic development projects. | | | The Senate then recessed until 4 p.m., when it will take up Senate Bill 7 — to concur with House amendments. |

| | Well, the Texas Supreme Court will rule on the school finance lawsuit, presumably this fall. | | | The idea here is to avoid having the bill die in the House, so if failure ensues the Senate gets the blame. | | | This is vital in moving the power from wind generators in West Texas to the state's cities. |
