Abstract: |
One of the
constitutional duties of the Texas Secretary of State is to register all
official acts and proceedings of the governor, including proclamations. Since
1869, the governor was required to file, in the office of the Secretary of
State, his reasons for granting executive clemency. Between 1946 and 1960, the
Parole Division of the Texas Secretary of State maintained records and prepared
all clemency proclamations issued by the governor. All of these functions are
documented in these records, which include executive record books, clemency
proclamations, indexes to clemency proclamations, applications for pardons and
other forms of executive clemency, and registers of applications for pardons.
They comprise records of executive clemency created by the Governors of the
State of Texas, and maintained by the Texas Secretary of State, dating 1840,
1845-2009. |

The Texas Constitution of 1845, Article V, Section 11, stated that
"in all criminal cases, except those of treason [in
which Senate approval was required] and impeachment, the Governor shall have
power after conviction, to grant reprieves and pardons; and under such rules as
the Legislature may prescribe, he shall have power to remit fines and
forfeitures." Subsequent Constitutions in 1861 and 1866 repeated this
charge. The only significant modification prescribed in the Constitutions of
1869 and 1876 was the requirement that the governor file, in the office of the
Secretary of State, his reasons for granting executive clemency.
In 1893, the Texas Board of Pardon Advisors was created to assist the
governor (Senate Bill 19, 23rd Legislature, Regular Session). The name was
changed in 1929 to Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles (Senate Bill 1, 41st
Legislature, 1st Called Session). Beginning in 1936 (Senate Joint Resolution
26, 44th Legislature, Regular Session) the governor must have the written
signed recommendation and advice of a majority of the Board of Pardons and
Paroles to grant pardons, reprieves, and commutations of punishments, and to
remit fines and forfeitures. In 1989 the Board of Pardons and Paroles was
placed under the newly created Texas Department of Criminal Justice (House Bill
2335, 71st Legislature, Regular Session). (Texas Constitution, Article IV,
Section 11; and V.T.C.A., Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 48.01)
One of the constitutional duties of the Texas Secretary of State
(beginning with the first state constitution) is to register all official acts
and proceedings of the governor, including proclamations. Between 1946 and
1960, the Parole Division of the Texas Secretary of State maintained records
and acted as liaison with the county parole boards, the Board of Pardons and
Paroles, and the governor; had charge of out-of-state parolees in Texas,
through the Interstate Parole Compact; and prepared all clemency proclamations
issued by the governor. Many of its duties were transferred to the Division of
Parole Supervision of the Board of Pardons and Paroles in 1960. Today, the
Statutory Documents Section in the Office of the Secretary of State maintains
the record copy of proclamations from the governor. (Texas Constitution,
Article IV, Section 21)

Texas (1983); the Manual of Texas State
Government (1950); the Guide to Texas State

of 1845, 1861, 1866, 1869, and 1876 (see the

One of the constitutional duties of the Texas Secretary of State is to
register all official acts and proceedings of the governor, including
proclamations. Since 1869, the governor was required to file, in the office of
the Secretary of State, his reasons for granting executive clemency. Between
1946 and 1960, the Parole Division of the Texas Secretary of State maintained
records and prepared all clemency proclamations issued by the governor. All of
these functions are documented in the Secretary of State's executive clemency
records. These records include executive record books, clemency proclamations,
indexes to clemency proclamations, applications for pardons and other forms of
executive clemency, and registers of applications for pardons. They comprise
records of executive clemency created by the Governors of the State of Texas,
and maintained by the Texas Secretary of State, dating 1840, 1845-2009.
Executive
record books dating 1835-1917, are described more fully in a separate
finding aid for the Texas Secretary of State. Those executive record books
dating 1846-1917 are included here as a convenience to researchers looking
specifically for pardon records, with the caution that they also contain an
enormous amount of non-clemency material, such as correspondence, inaugural and
valedictory addresses, executive messages, appointments, passports,
extraditions, rewards, reports of state agencies, etc.
Clemency proclamations, dating 1874-2009, usually give some or all of
the following types of information: the proclamation number, the name of the
pardoned individual, when convicted, where, the court, the crime, the
punishment, length of sentence served, who recommends executive clemency, any
conditions on the pardon, date of pardon, and the signatures of the governor
and the clerk.
Indexes to clemency proclamations, created by the office of the Texas
Secretary of State, date 1846-1970.
Applications for pardons and other forms of executive clemency, are
organized as individual case files, and date 1840, 1845-1918 and 1932-1938 (the
bulk dating 1880-1900). Types of records found in the applications include
correspondence, petitions, court records such as indictments and transcripts,
occasional proclamations from the governor granting a pardon or restoring
citizenship, and certificates of prison conduct. Applications for pardons were
created to request executive clemency from the Governor, and were maintained by
the office of the Secretary of State to document the reasons for such clemency.
Registers of applications for pardon date 1887-1891 and 1915-1940.
Information included in these pardon registers includes number, name, county,
offense, and punishment; each register is followed by an alphabetical index,
which includes name, number, conviction date, and final action (including date
of such).
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily
reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to
provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.

Restrictions on Access
Because of the possibility that portions of Applications for pardons fall under Public Information
Act exceptions including, but not limited to, medical records (Texas
Occupations Code, Section 159.002(d)), an archivist must review these records
before they can be accessed for research. The records may be requested for
research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an
archivist or submit a request by mail, fax, or email including enough
description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist
to accurately identify and locate the information requested. If our review
reveals information that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we are
obligated to seek an open records decision from the Attorney General on whether
the records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten
working days after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney
General has 45 working days to render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can
inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted information and if you
agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can access the
remainder of the records.
Medical records are confidential for 100 years and then are available
for historical research purposes.
Executive record books and
Pardon and remission books are restricted due to
their fragile physical condition, so researchers must use the microfilmed
copies of the volumes.
Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives
search room. Materials will be retrieved from and returned to
storage areas by staff members.
Restrictions on Use
Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted and
may be freely used in any way. State records also include materials received
by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the creator. The
researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).
Technical Requirements
Microfilm readers are available in the Lorenzo de Zavala State Archives and
Library Building. Ask staff members for exact locations.

Executive record books containing pardon records,
1846-1917,
12.58 cubic ft. (originals); 13 reels of microfilm
(duplicates) |
|
One of the constitutional duties of the Texas Secretary of State
is to register all official acts and proceedings of the governor, including
proclamations. Since 1869, the governor was required to file, in the office of
the Secretary of State, his reasons for granting executive clemency. Executive
record books were created to preserve a permanent record of the official acts
and proceedings of the governors of the state of Texas, whether through
correspondence, addresses and messages, proclamations, etc. |
|
Types of records contained in executive record books include
correspondence (mostly outgoing) of the Governors of the State of Texas,
primarily with other Texas and U.S. officials; inaugural and valedictory
addresses; executive messages; proclamations; appointments; passports; pardons
and remissions; extraditions; rewards; reports of state agencies; etc. Some
Department of State (later Secretary of State) records are also present,
consisting primarily of election returns, plus a couple of annual reports.
These records comprise the executive record books maintained by the Texas
Secretary of State, dating 1846-1917. Records of governors' actions are present
from each administration covering the years 1846-1917. The earlier volumes
contain a variety of materials, as listed above, with the books from 1887-1917
containing mostly proclamations and pardons. Correspondence in the late
1850s-1860s concerns frontier defense and other military affairs. |
|
Since the executive record books of the Provisional Government
(1835-1836) and of the Presidents of the Republic of Texas (1836-1845) contain
no pardon documents, those are not described here. |
|
Note: Some confusion may arise from the
fact that the term Executive record book has also been applied to volumes that
were exclusively dedicated to pardons and to rewards. When Executive record
books (14 reels) were microfilmed, Pardon books (9 reels) and Reward books (3
reels) were also included, totaling 26 reels. Pardon books are described in a
separate series in this finding aid. |
|
To assist the researcher seeking documentation of pardons, the
terms pardons and remissions of
fines have been boldfaced in the container listing below. |

Governor's clemency proclamations,
1870,
1874-2009,
15.21 cubic ft. (originals), 165 reels of microfilm
(originals), 9 reels of microfilm (duplicates) |
|
One of the constitutional duties of the Texas Secretary of State
is to register all official acts and proceedings of the governor, including
proclamations. Between 1946 and 1960, the Parole Division of the Texas
Secretary of State maintained records and prepared all clemency proclamations
issued by the governor. These records are executive clemency proclamations
granted by the Governor of Texas and prepared by the Texas Secretary of State,
dating 1870, 1874-2009. Clemency proclamations by the Governor of the State of
Texas have granted, for example, full pardon and restoration of full civil
rights of citizenship, conditional pardon, remission of fines and forfeitures,
medical emergency reprieve, commutation of a prison sentence, or revocation of
a conditional pardon. Proclamations usually give some or all of the following
types of information: the proclamation number, the name of the pardoned
individual, when convicted, where, the court, the crime, the punishment, length
of sentence served, who recommends executive clemency, any conditions on the
pardon, date of pardon, and the signatures of the governor and the clerk.
Standardized proclamation forms came into use in the 1880s and were used in all
of the volumes. The format has changed over the years but the basic information
is found in the pardons and paroles issued by the governor and since 1936 by
the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. The proclamations from 1870, 1874-1913
are in volumes, the earliest of which (1870, 1874-1900) have been microfilmed
(on 35 mm microfilm) for use. From 1913 to 1988 the proclamations are on 16 mm
microfilm (the originals were destroyed). From 1988 to 2009 the Texas State
Archives retains the paper copy of pardon proclamations. |
|
Note: Some confusion may arise from the
fact that the term Executive record book has also been applied to volumes that
were exclusively dedicated to pardons and to rewards. When Executive record
books (14 reels) were microfilmed, Pardon books (9 reels)--part of the series
here described--and Reward books (3 reels) were also included, totaling 26
reels. To add to the confusion, volumes properly called Executive record books
usually also contain pardon records and reward records; these have been
described in a separate series in this finding aid. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged as they were created, roughly
chronologically. Beginning in 1900, they are arranged numerically by
proclamation number, which is also chonological. |
|
Except for the years 1900-1913, the volume numbers that are given
in the container listing below are not call numbers (the call numbers are the
microfilm reel numbers). Volume numbers are provided to assist in
distinguishing one volume from another on the microfilm, and also to match the
indexes to the volumes (see the series Indexes to
clemency proclamations). |

Restrictions on Access |
|
Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives
search room. Materials will be retrieved from and returned to
storage areas by staff members. |
|
Restrictions on Use |
|
Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted
and may be freely used in any way. State records also include materials
received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law
(Title 17 U.S.C.). |
|
Technical Requirements |
|
Pardon and remission books are
restricted due to their fragile physical condition, so researchers must use the
microfilmed copies of the volumes. Microfilm readers are available in the Lorenzo de Zavala State Archives and
Library Building. Ask staff members for exact locations. |

Indexes to clemency proclamations,
1846-1970,
3.96 cubic ft., 3 reels of microfilm |
|
One of the constitutional duties of the Texas Secretary of State
is to register all official acts and proceedings of the governor, including
proclamations. Between 1946 and 1960, the Parole Division of the Texas
Secretary of State maintained records and prepared all clemency proclamations
issued by the governor. This series consists of indexes to clemency
proclamations created by the office of the Texas Secretary of State (formatted
as five volumes, four boxes, and three reels of microfilm), dating 1846-1970.
|
|
Three volumes are general indexes to pardons and remissions of
fines, dating 1846-1945. The information included in these indexes includes the
following: number of pardon, name of convict, county of conviction, date
pardoned, book, and page. Columns for pardon number are blank until about 1913;
book and page are left blank after Book 321 (1923). |
|
Another two volumes are alphabetical indexes to paroles,
remissions, and commutations, 1945-1954, providing name, date, proclamation
number, and county of conviction (1994/133-1 and 2). |
|
There are four boxes of loose paper indexes to microfilmed
Governor's [clemency] proclamations, 1913-1966, which give only name and
number. |
|
Finally, there are three reels of 16 mm microfilm containing
alphabetical name indexes to Governors' proclamations dating 1965-1970. |
|
General indexes to pardons and remissions of fines were created to
provide general access to pardon proclamations (giving either book and page
numbers, or pardon number, or both). The indexes also give very basic
information about each convict pardoned, including county of conviction and
date pardoned. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged by State Archives staff first of all in
chronological groups of varying length; within each grouping, the entries are
arranged alphabetically by first letter of last name of pardoned convicts, and
therein numerically (which is also chronologically). |

Applications for pardons,
1840,
1845-1938, bulk 1880-1900,
76.25 cubic ft. |
|
One of the constitutional duties of the Texas Secretary of State
is to register all official acts and proceedings of the governor, including
proclamations. Since 1869, the governor was required to file, in the office of
the Secretary of State, his reasons for granting executive clemency.
Applications for pardons were created to request executive clemency from the
Governor, and were maintained by the office of the Secretary of State to
document the reasons for such clemency. |
|
These records contain correspondence, petitions, court records,
certificates of conduct, and proclamations. They comprise applications for
pardons, and also applications for other forms of executive clemency, including
commutation of sentence, citizenship restoration, or remission of fines and
forfeitures. All requests were organized as individual case files. Dates
covered are 1840, 1845-1938 (the bulk of the records dating 1880-1900). Types
of records found in the applications include correspondence, petitions, and
court records such as indictments and transcripts. Occasionally, there are
actual proclamations from the governor granting a pardon or restoring
citizenship. The correspondence and petitions asking for clemency, normally
addressed to the governor, usually came from the citizens of the convict's home
area, and many times even the judge and/or jury who sentenced the convict
signed a petition. Some case files include certificates of prison conduct which
are the records of prison behavior used by the governor to evaluate a clemency
request. A certificate lists the name of the convict, the crime, and the
sentence being served and also provides personal information such as physical
description, race, marital status, education, and occupation. |
|
Access to these records is by means of an alphabetical index card
file in the Texas State Archives search room. |
|
Arrangement |
|
The bulk of these records have been arranged by State Archives
staff alphabetically by name of the applicant. Miscellaneous pardon records are
filed after the main group of records, arranged by type of record and then
alphabetically. Finally, there are three groups of stray files (representing
three chronological periods), each arranged alphabetically. |

|
Restrictions on Access |
|
Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall
under Public Information Act exceptions including, but not limited to, medical
records (Texas Occupations Code, Section 159.002(d)), an archivist must review
these records before they can be accessed for research. The records may be
requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information Act
(V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an
interview with an archivist or submit a request by mail, fax, or email
including enough description and detail about the information requested to
enable the archivist to accurately identify and locate the information
requested. If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the Public
Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the
Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information
Act allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this
determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision.
Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially
excepted information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or
removed and you can access the remainder of the records. |
|
Medical records are confidential for 100 years and then are
available for historical research purposes. |
|
Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives
search room. Materials will be retrieved from and returned to
storage areas by staff members. |
|
Restrictions on Use |
|
Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted
and may be freely used in any way. State records also include materials
received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law
(Title 17 U.S.C.). |

Registers of applications for pardons,
1887-1891,
1915-1940,
2.68 cubic ft. |
|
One of the constitutional duties of the Texas Secretary of State
is to register all official acts and proceedings of the governor, including
proclamations. Applications for pardons were created to request executive
clemency from the Governor, and were maintained by the office of the Secretary
of State to document the reasons for such clemency. Pardon registers were
created to keep track of pardon applications, and the indexes provided with
each register serve to provide access to the applications, matching up the
applicant's name with a number. The registers/indexes also give very basic
information about each convict applying for a pardon, including name, county,
offense, punishment, conviction date, and final action (including date of
such). |
|
This series consists of six volumes, all maintained by the office
of the Texas Secretary of State, which are registers of applications for
pardons and remissions of fines and forfeitures, dating 1887-1891 and
1915-1940. Information included in these pardon registers includes number,
name, county, offense, and punishment; each register is followed by an
alphabetical index, which includes name, number, conviction date, and final
action--for example "pardon granted,""conditional pardon granted,""pardon revoked,""remission granted" (including date of such). Thus a
researcher can get from the name and the pardon information (in the second part
of each register) to the conviction information (in the first part of each
register). The volumes are usually--and misleadingly--labeled on the spine
"Pardon Record, Executive Office." If the final
action column is blank, the assumption may be that the clemency was not
granted. There are over 47,600 pardon applications documented in these
registers. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These volumes are listed by State Archives staff roughly
chronologically. Within each volume the entries are arranged (as they were
created) numerically by what appears to be a pardon number (which is also
chronological). Each register contains an alphabetical index. |
