The Texas Constitution of 1845 required the Secretary of State to
"keep a fair register of all official acts and
proceedings of the Governor" and to provide these to the legislature when
required. This duty (and others) were reiterated in the act
"to define the duties of Secretary of State,"
approved May 9, 1846. This authority was reconfirmed by the Constitutions of
1866 (Article V, Section 17), 1869 (Article IV, Section 17) and 1876 (Article
IV, Section 21), and subsequent amendments.
The Secretary of State is a constitutional officer of the executive
branch of state government, appointed by the governor and confirmed by the
senate for a term concurrent with the governor's (a two-year term at first, a
four-year term since 1974). The office was first created by the Constitution of
the Republic of Texas in 1836 (Article VI, Section 10), and has been continued
by each succeeding Constitution.

The Texas Secretary of State is named by the Texas Constitution as the
custodian of all official acts and proceedings of the Governor. These records
are the executive orders issued by Governors William P. Clements, Ann W.
Richards, and George W. Bush, and filed with the Texas Secretary of State,
dating 1987-1997. They are signed by both the governor and the secretary of
state, and are affixed with the seal of the State of Texas. Subjects of these
executive orders include: the creation and/or continuation of state
commissions, committees, task forces, and councils within the Office of the
Governor; prison overcrowding; ballot issues (overseas ballots, electronic
voting, etc.); assisting Native Americans in accessing federal funds; the
hiring and training of unemployed veterans; affordable housing; historically
underutilized businesses (HUB); the emergency suspension of laws in natural
disasters; bans on fireworks; etc. Only two executive orders are included for
the year 1997, GWB 97-19 and 20; GWB 97-1 thru 18 are not yet at the State
Archives.
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.

Arrangement of the Records |
|
These records are arranged numerically by a file number assigned by
Secretary of State staff, in the order they were received, which is also
roughly--but not exactly--chronological. The Executive Order number (which is
also given) contains initials of the governor, the two digits of the year
issued, and a sequential number; these are often out of order. |
