Question

Many reformers believed the texas constitution is in need of a comprehensive revision. why is this unlikely to happen

Answer 1

The line-item veto. The governor of Texas can reject these changes appealing to the mentioned veto.

Answer 2

Changes to Texas constitution are unlikely to happen because of a number of issues. The project is considered large and draining and stakeholders have seemed quite indifferent The document is 123 years old, and so many amendments have been effected on to it. For this reason, a lot of time and financial and human resources are required over a period of time to work on. There are also contentious issues such as Abortion and Severance tax for the Oil industry that would rather be left to the judicial system to take care of. When all factors are put into consideration, however much change is desired, it may take longer for the constitution to be rewritten.
