Prior to its independence, Texas was governed as a part of Mexico under the Mexican Constitution of 1824. Established as a federal republic, each state could write its own constitution. Combined as a single state, Texas and Coahuila established a constitution in 1827. Under this constitution, legislative power was delegated to a unicameral legislature composed of twelve deputies, including two elected from Texas by popular vote. The legislature met annually from January through April and could be called into special session. Executive power was vested in a governor and vice-governor, elected to four-year terms by popular vote. The governor could recommend legislation, grant pardons, lead the state militia, and see that the laws were obeyed.
