The legislative department was composed of a Senate of from nineteen to thirty-three members and a House of Representatives of from forty-five to ninety. Representatives, elected for two years, were required to have attained the age of twenty-one. Senators were elected for four years, one-half chosen biennially, all at least thirty years old. Legislators' compensation was set at three dollars a day for each day of attendance and three dollars for each twenty-five miles of travel to and from the capital. All bills for raising revenue had to originate in the House of Representatives. Austin was made the capital until 1850, after which the people were to choose a permanent seat of government. A census was ordered for each eighth year, following which adjustment of the legislative membership was to be made. Regular sessions were biennial. Ministers of the Gospel were ineligible to be legislators. \n\nThe governor's term was two years, and he was made ineligible for more than four years in any period of six years. He was required to be a citizen and a resident of Texas for at least three years before his election and to be at least thirty years of age. He could appoint the attorney general, secretary of state, and supreme and district court judges, subject to confirmation by the Senate; but the comptroller and treasurer were elected biennially by a joint session of the legislature. The governor could convene the legislature and adjourn it in case of disagreement between the two houses and was commander-in-chief of the militia. He could grant pardons and reprieves. His veto could be overruled by two-thirds of both houses. \n\nThe judiciary consisted of a Supreme Court, district courts, and such inferior courts as the legislature might establish, the judges of the higher courts being appointed by the governor for six-year terms. The Supreme Court was made up of three judges, any two of whom constituted a quorum. Supreme and district judges could be removed by the governor on address of two-thirds of both houses of the legislature for any cause that was not sufficient ground for impeachment. A district attorney for each district was elected by joint vote of both houses, to serve for two years. County officers were elected for two years by popular vote. The sheriff was not eligible to serve more than four years of any six. Trial by jury was extended to cases in equity as well as in civil and criminal law. \n\nThe longest article of the constitution was Article VII, on General Provisions. Most of its thirty-seven sections were limitations on the legislature. One section forbade the holding of office by any citizen who had ever participated in a duel. Bank corporations were prohibited, and the legislature was forbidden to authorize individuals to issue bills, checks, promissory notes, or other paper to circulate as money. The state debt was limited to $100,000, except in case of war, insurrection, or invasion. Equal and uniform taxation was required; income and occupation taxes might be levied; each family was to be allowed an exemption of $250 on household goods. A noteworthy section made exempt from forced sale any family homestead, not to exceed 200 acres of land or city property not exceeding $2,000 in value; the owner, if a married man, could not sell or trade the homestead except with the consent of his wife. Section XIX recognized the separate ownership by married women of all real and personal property owned before marriage or acquired afterwards by gift or inheritance. Texas was a pioneer state in providing for homestead protection and for recognition of community property.

The authority of the Constitution was established after it was ratified by the (I believe it had to be 7 of the 13)Thirteen States. What isn't expressly given to the Federal Government is implied to go to the states.  The 3 branches had their own powers that check and balance each other out

Martín de Alarcón appointed governor of Texas \n\nOn this day in 1716, Martín de Alarcón was appointed Spanish governor of Texas. Alarcón, though governor for just three short years, played a pivotal role in Texas history. In the spring of 1718 he led settlers across the Rio Grande and assisted in the founding of San Antonio de Valero mission and San Antonio de Béxar presidio. The accompanying families formed the beginnings of a settlement. Thus Alarcón is credited as the founder of San Antonio, the most important town in Spanish Texas and the eye of the storm of the Texas Revolution. As part of his official duties, Alarcón also inspected the East Texas missions and was constantly vigilant against the widespread French contraband trade, advising explorer and trader Jean Baptiste Bénard de La Harpe to leave Spanish territory. Alarcón was relieved of his gubernatorial duties in the fall of 1719.

You could say when it was implemented in 1868 since it never met Constitutional requirements for ratification.\n\nCertainly when supported by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Texas V. White in 1869.

Section 1. -After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. \n\nSection 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. \n\nSection 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.\n\n\n\nAmendment XVIII (the Eighteenth Amendment) of the United States Constitution, along with the Volstead Act (which defined "intoxicating liquors"), established Prohibition in the United States.\n\n\nHistory\nThe senate passed the amendment on December 18, 1917. The amendment was ratified on January 16, 1919, having been approved by 36 states. It went into effect one year later on January 16, 1920.\n\nWhen Congress submitted this amendment to the states for ratification, it was the first time that a proposed amendment had a provision that placed a deadline on ratification. The validity of the amendment was challenged on that basis in Dillon v. Gloss. The Supreme Court ruled on the case in 1921, upholding the constitutionality of such deadlines.\n\nThe amendment was subsequently repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment on December 5, 1933, making it the only provision in the Constitution to be explicitly modified.\n\nThe ramifications of the 18th Amendment, which will live on to be remembered as "Prohibition", have reached into today. The Amendment eternally changed the notion that localized crime could not evolve into a full-fledged mafia syndicate; while also removing the facade of a utopian society without alcohol (or any other drug, for that matter) in its veins, because it is just one of the many luxuries that make up the plasma in the American bloodstream. Prohibition changed the lives and roles of moonshiners and rum-runners, transforming them, along their product, into the lifeblood of American speakeasies and mob dons, forever revolutionizing the American dream and image.

Texas was originally part of Mexico.  In the early 1820's, Mexico began to invite Americans to settle in Texas with the promise of cheap land.  However, the Mexican government, under the Mexican dictator Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, began to violate the rights of these new Texans, who in 1835, started their own war for independence from Mexico.  By April 1836, the Texans won their indepedence and, until 1846, were a fully autonomous republic.  In 1846, Texas applied for statehood in the United States, which was strongly supported by Southern Democrats.  Many in the North believed that the admission of Texas would only further the cause of the spread of slavery, which it did.  The admission of Texas also led to the Mexican-American War through a dispute over the border, which allowed the United States to conquer Mexico and take nearly half of its territory, in the form of the modern American Southwest (i.e. New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and California).  Peace out.

texas gained its independence from mexico with little/no help from the US so when they won they became their own country and then a little while later the US annexed texas making it a state. Basically it was one star of the Us flag that stood on its own, so its the Lonestar state, and their flag has one star on it.

Texas is a state in the South and Southwest regions of the United States. It joined the United States in 1845 as the 28th state, after nearly ten years as the Republic of Texas, an independent country.\n\nThe state name derives from a word in a Caddoan language of the Hasinai, táyshaʔ (or tejas, as the Spaniards spelled it), meaning "those who are friends," friends or allies. Spanish explorers mistakenly applied the word to the people and their location. (The Texas Department of Transportation pays homage to the origin of Texas' name in its "Drive Friendly" safe driving campaign.)\n\nWith an area of 268,820 square miles (696,241 km2) and a population of 22.5 million, Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population, and the largest state in the contiguous 48 states in area. (Alaska is the largest U.S. state in area and California is the most populous.) Texas has historically had a "larger than life" reputation, especially in cowboy films.

Texas had 5 capitals while it was the Republic of Texas before Sam Houston(president) moved it to Austin in 1839.

When in time did the state want to be admitted to the Union.  Missouri was admitted to the Union as a slave state as part of the Compromise of 1820.  As part of the compromise, states north of the Missouri line were free states while state south of the line were slave states. \n\nIn 1848, the US won a war with Mexico and expanded territories West.  California wanted to be admitted to the Union as a slave state at this time.  So Congress constructed the Compromise of 1850 which allowed the annexed territories from Mexico to self-determine their status, except for California which was admitted as a free state.

As written in Article 11 of the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli:\n\n"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
