Texas Railroad Commission Excluded From Constitution
The Texas Railroad Commission was struck from the proposed state constitution by an 87 78 vote of the Constitutional Convention. The change would let the legislature decide the commission's future and could alter how members are selected. Opponents cited gas supply crises involving Coastal States Producing Co and Austin San Antonio Corpus Christi. The convention also approved a measure dissolving state agencies every 10 years unless renewed, and kept the Pardons and Paroles Board in the constitution.
