The Texas pardon board will gain final say over clemency as the 1936 constitutional amendment limits governors to one 30 day stay in death cases without board consent. Governor-elect O'Daniel faces death penalty decisions early in 1939 and will appoint one board member, while the other two are named by the judiciary.
