Proposed Texas constitutional amendment abolishing prison board
The 1925 joint resolution proposes amending Article 16 to abolish the Board of Prison Commissioners and place prison system oversight under a trained officer or officers defined by law. It sets the November 5 1926 general election for voter choice with explicit ballots for or against the amendment and directs the governor to issue the proclamation. An appropriation of 5000 dollars funds publication and election costs.
