The governor of Texas is the chief executive officer of the state,
elected by the citizens every four years. The duties and responsibilities
of
the governor include serving as commander-in-chief of the state's military
forces; convening special sessions of the legislature for specific
purposes;
delivering to the legislature at the beginning of each regular session a
report
on the condition of the state, an accounting of all public money under the
governor's control, a recommended biennial budget, an estimate of the
amounts
of money required to be raised by taxation, and any recommendations he
deems
necessary; signing or vetoing bills passed by the legislature; and
executing
the laws of the state. The governor can grant reprieves and commutations of
punishment and pardons, upon the recommendation of the Board of Pardons and
Paroles, and revoke conditional pardons. He appoints numerous state
officials
(with the consent of the Senate), fills vacancies in state and district
offices
(except vacancies in the legislature), calls special elections to fill
vacancies in the legislature, fills vacancies in the United States Senate
until
an election can be held, and serves as ex officio member of several state
boards.
The office of governor was first established by the Constitution of
1845 and superseded the office of president of the Republic of Texas. The
position now exists under authority of Article IV, Section 1 of the
Constitution of 1876 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 401. To be elected
governor, a person must be at least thirty years old, a United States
citizen,
and a resident of Texas for at least five years preceding the election. In
1972, the term of office was extended from two to four years, effective in
1975. Since 1856 the governor has had the use of the Governor's Mansion.
In 1999 there were 198 full time equivalent employees in the Office of
the Governor. Thirteen divisions outside of the Executive Office assist the
governor in carrying out his functions: Administration, Appointments,
Budget
& Planning, Communications, General Counsel, Legislative, Policy,
Scheduling, Criminal Justice Division, Governor's Committee on People with
Disabilities, Office of Film, Music, Television and Multimedia Industries,
Women's Commission, and Texas Council on Workforce and Economic
Competitiveness.
The General Counsel position within the Texas Office of the Governor
was created in October 1973 when the Executive Director of the Governor's
Criminal Justice Division appointed an individual as General Counsel, to
assist
him in providing statute interpretations and in other matters relating to
policies and procedures. Today the Office of the General Counsel is a
separate
division in the Governor's Office. During the Bush Administration, Alberto
Gonzales served as General Counsel, succeeded in 1998 by Margaret
Wilson.
Duties of the General Counsel include providing statute
interpretations; tracking inmates on death row as their cases move through
the
judicial process including all appeals to the governor for commutations or
stays of execution; handling pardon requests sent to the governor;
reviewing
proposed settlements, land patents, grant requests, contracts, easements,
and
deeds for the governor; analyzing proposed legislation and regulations for
validity and legal effect; assisting appointments staff in determining
eligibility and other legal issues related to proposed appointments;
handling
extradition and requisition matters; coordinating ethics guidelines and
training for the governor's office; advising the governor on federal
programs
administered by the state; coordinating the governor's criminal justice
policy
with the governor's Policy Director; and providing legal advice and
handling
litigation filed against the governor or the Governor's Office, in
conjunction
with actions of the Attorney General on the governor's behalf.
Return to the Table of Contents
George W. Bush served as governor of Texas from January 17, 1995 to
December 21, 2000, resigning as governor in the middle of his second term
to
become president of the United States.
He challenged the incumbent governor, Democrat Ann Richards, running
on promises to improve public education and to reform the juvenile justice
system, welfare, and the state's tort laws -- the system under which an
injured
person may sue for damages. During the 74th Legislature in 1995, he worked
with
the Democrats who controlled both houses of the Texas legislature and
managed
to get bills passed that dealt with the four issues he had emphasized in
his
campaign. Bush was seen as pro-business and a consensus-builder.
Bush advocated and signed the two largest tax cuts to date in Texas
history, totaling over $3 billion. To pay for the cuts, he sought
(unsuccessfully) federal approval of a plan to privatize Texas' social
services. Education reform was a priority throughout his terms, with
legislation emphasizing local control of schools, higher standards, and a
revised curriculum. Controversy has followed, with charter schools mired in
financial scandals and protests against one test determining a child's
promotion. After winning reelection in 1998, Bush began his bid for the
presidency and was not as involved in the 76th Legislature in 1999.
George W. Bush was born July 6, 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut and
grew up in Midland and Houston, Texas. He graduated from Andover Academy,
and
received a bachelor's degree from Yale University and a master's from
Harvard
Business School. He served as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. In
1978,
Bush was defeated in a run for the U.S. Congress in West Texas. He was
involved
in energy exploration from the 1970s into the 1980s. From 1989 until his
election as governor, Bush worked with the Texas Rangers baseball
organization,
leading a group of partners in purchasing the team, and then serving as
managing general partner. He married Laura Welch in 1977; they have two
daughters.

aids
due to the size limitations of the online finding aid matrix. Dates covered
for
the overall execution case files are 1886, 1903, 1912-1914, 1921, 1939,
1950-2000, the bulk dating 1986-2000. Dates of this finding aid, covering
files
Lackey through Woods, are 1886, 1903, 1912-1914, 1921, 1939, 1955-2000.
The files consist of execution summaries by the Governor's General
Counsel and summaries by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles (BPP) (or
by
the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for the BPP); memos and
correspondence; clemency petitions; affidavits; court documents
(judgements,
opinions, appeals, motions, orders, etc.); notes; records from the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice inmate files, including medical or

records; clippings; case summaries from the South
Western
Reporter or similar court reports; citations from online legal
sources;
and audio and video tapes. This series is split into two separate finding
aids
due to the size limitations of the online finding aid web site. Dates
covered
for the overall execution case files are 1886, 1903, 1912-1914, 1921, 1939,
1950-2000, the bulk dating 1986-2000. Dates of this finding aid, covering
files
Adanandus through Kitchens, are 1950-2000.
These are the execution case files of the Office of the General
Counsel of Texas Governor George W. Bush created to track the cases of
death
row inmates and to document actions by the courts and the governor through
appeals, requests for stays of execution, or clemency. Files are present
for
most of the inmates executed during Bush's term. Correspondents include
staff
of the General Counsel's Office, the Governor, the Board of Pardons and
Paroles, the Department of Criminal Justice, the Attorney General's Office,
appeals courts, district attorneys, local law enforcement officials,
inmates or
their attorneys, and family and friends of victims and of the inmates. The
letters are generally addressed to either the Governor or his General
Counsel;
some letters are copies of items addressed to and forwarded by the Board of
Pardons and Paroles to the Governor for his review. While many of the
letters
are directed to the Governor, they are stamped as received at the General
Counsel's office and there is no indication that the Governor reviewed
them.
What the Governor did review are the execution summaries prepared by the
General Counsel. Most of these have a place for the governor to check
'deny' or 'grant' and for him to sign. Some of these are
originals, most are copies. Execution summaries prepared by the General
Counsel
are not present in all inmate execution case files. They are present in the
Legal opinions and advice (LOA) series and in
the
Death penalty notebooks series of the General
Counsel's Office. And, the majority of the execution summaries in the LOA
records have the original signature of the governor.
Execution case summaries prepared by the Board of Pardons and Paroles
(BPP) or for the BPP by the Department of Criminal Justice are confidential
by
statute, and there is no indication (such as signature sheets or notes)
that
the Governor reviewed these. There is a difference between the execution
summaries prepared by the governor's general counsel and those done by or
for
the BPP. The summaries by the BPP contain more information about the crime,
the
criminal history, and the defendant's prison record than do those prepared
by
the governor's general counsel. Additionally, execution summaries prepared
by
TDCJ or BPP often contain attachments, including correspondence between the
BPP
and inmates or with victims and inmates families, correspondence or
memoranda
to the BPP from its legal counsel, recommendations from trial officials,
medical and psychological reports, and criminal histories. The summaries
and
attachments are confidential. The BPP correspondence, TDCJ records, law
enforcement reports, medical or psychological reports, and court records
were
generally sent over to the governor's office as part of a review packet,
though
not often identified as part of the BPP's execution summary. Regardless of
whether they were part of the execution summary or part of a separate
review
packet from the BPP, these materials are confidential.
Affidavits, court records, and other materials were often included as
exhibits or attachments to clemency petitions sent to governor by the
inmate
and/or his/her attorney. Most materials included as attachments to the
clemency
petition to the governor are open. If the petition was sent just to the
BPP, it
is confidential. Clemency petitions are not present for all inmates; not
all
death row inmates submitted a petition. In a very few cases petitions
missing
from the execution case files can be found in the series,
Death penalty notebooks.
Although the inmates were executed, some materials are still
confidential - medical/psychological reports; any reports or documents
produced
by TDCJ, such as disciplinary reports on the inmates, social histories,
etc.;
most files gathered or created by the Board of Pardons and Paroles for its
review and most correspondence with the BPP; etc. See the Restrictions
statement for further information about confidential records. File types
received by the BPP that are open include minute sheets and voting
transmittals; transmittal letters informing the attorney for the petitioner
and
the governor's attorney (general counsel) of the BPP's recommendation on
the
clemency petition; court documents, including indictment, judgement,
sentence,
bench warrants, some but not all pleadings and decisions on appeal,
including
state and federal writs of habeas corpus and court opinions; court orders
setting and modifying execution dates, and TDCJ memoranda reflecting same;
TDCJ
notification of receipt of inmate and execution date; fee affidavit from
attorneys registering with the Board as representing the inmate; notice
letters
to trial officials requesting input; and medical releases.
Confidential information in the execution case files is not limited to
the notations in the folder listing. The notations present were added
because
the confidential nature of the information is not obvious.

In December 2000, Governor George W. Bush designated the George Bush
Presidential Library as the repository for the records from his tenure as
Governor of Texas, under authority of Texas Government Code, Section
441.201.
Shortly after he left office, the records were trucked to the Bush Library
in
College Station, Texas. Texas Attorney General John Cornyn ruled the
records
are state records subject to the Texas Public Information Act and the
management of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission even after
transfer to a federal facility (Opinion No. JC-0498, May 3, 2002). In July
2002
the records were transferred from the Bush Library to the Texas State
Archives
in Austin for preparation for research use. In June 2003, a memorandum of
understanding signed by representatives of the National Archives and
Records
Administration, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, and George
W.
Bush replaced a January 2002 interim memorandum of understanding. The
records
will be returned to the Bush Library after the project has been completed.
