Professor Braden and others began research in 1972, the year that Texas voters approved a revision of the state’s constitution. The purpose was to “provide information to aid the constitutional revision process.”
In this publication, the authors provide factual information regarding the origins, historical development and contemporary meaning of each section of the Constitution, in addition to interpretive comments. Texas Constitution researchers, then and now, find this publication an invaluable resource.
In the foreword, James F. Ray, Director, Texas Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, states that the principal reason for the publication was to make the information available to the public. Now, thanks to technology and the Internet, the State Law Library is privileged to bring this publication to your desktop.
The State Law Library wishes to express its gratitude to the estate of George Braden, and to the authors, for allowing us to digitize and provide access to The Constitution of the State of Texas on this website.
This digitized version of Braden's Consitution was made possible thanks to a grant from the Appellate Section of the State Bar of Texas, and with the permission of the numerous authors.
