Drive for Texas Constitution Revision Fades in Legislature
The Texas League of Women Voters pressed for revision after a survey showing 74 percent of community leaders doubt the 1876 Constitution’s adequacy. The Texas Legislative Council rejected a general revision, deeming a convention neither needed nor desirable. Yet 14 amendments are likely in the next general election, prompting calls for constitutional convention powers.
