|
Title: |
Secretary of State bonds and
oaths |
|
Dates: |
1837-1844, 1846-1920
|
|
Abstract: |
Bonds are posted
by public officials to secure their fiduciary responsibilities. Oaths are sworn
and filed by public officials to assure their loyalty to the government, and
their promise to uphold the duties of the office. No one governmental office
has had the responsibility for filing all bonds and oaths. The Comptroller's
office at some point maintained certificates of bonds, and possibly even oaths.
However, state law has required many if not most state officers to file bonds
and oaths with the Texas Secretary of State (as early as 1846). These records
are bonds and oaths and some related records of elected and appointed officials
of the Republic and State of Texas, of districts, counties, and municipalities,
dating 1837-1844, 1846-1920. |

According to Article V of the Texas Constitution of 1836,
"every person who shall be chosen or appointed to any
office of trust or profit shall before entering on the duties thereof, take an
oath to support the Constitution of the Republic, and also an oath of
office." As offices were created, the enabling legislation usually
specified the oath and bond required.
No one governmental office has had
the responsibility for filing all bonds and oaths. Depending on the office and
varying over time, bonds and oaths could be filed on different governmental
levels (municipal, district, county, state), and in different offices. Not
infrequently, the bond would be filed in one office and the oath in another.
The Comptroller's office at some point maintained certificates of bonds, and
possibly even oaths. However, state law has required many if not most state
officers to file bonds and oaths with the Secretary of State (as early as
1846). Furthermore, numerous entries in a published Catalogue of Books, Documents, Papers, Etc., in Office of
Secretary of State, March, 1870 are bonds and oaths (e.g., of state
officers, of district attorneys, of district judges, of department clerks, of
managers and trustees of asylums, etc.)
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. On May
9, 1846, the 1st Legislature approved an act "to
define the duties of Secretary of State," which among other things
required the Secretary of State to "arrange and
preserve all books, maps, parchments, records, documents, deeds, conveyances,
and other papers belonging to the State, that have been or may be properly
deposited there."
Bonds are posted by public officials to secure their
fiduciary responsibilities. Oaths are sworn and filed by public officials to
assure their loyalty to the government, and their promise to uphold the duties
of the office. No one governmental office has had the responsibility for filing
all bonds and oaths. The Comptroller's office at some point maintained
certificates of bonds, and possibly even oaths. However, state law has required
many if not most state officers to file bonds and oaths with the Texas
Secretary of State (as early as 1846).
These records are bonds and
oaths and some related records of elected and appointed officials of the
Republic and State of Texas, of districts, counties, and municipalities, dating
1837-1844, 1846-1920. The records making up this series appear to have been
collected from various record groups and filed into two subseries--one for the
Republic, 1837-1844, and one for the State, 1846-1920.
The Republic-era
records consist of signed oaths and bonds filed in the Office of the Secretary
of State, certifications of county Chief Justices that oaths of office have
been taken, letters to Presidents recommending persons for various offices, and
letters of resignation, dating 1837-1844. There are files for approximately 450
officials. An alphabetical list of the Republic era officials with bonds and/or
oaths is given in this inventory.
The State-era records are bonds and
oaths and some related records of elected and appointed officials of the State
of Texas, of districts, counties, and municipalities, dating 1846-1920. Not all
files will have a bond and an oath and some will have more than one for
successive offices. In some files additional materials may be present, such as
letters of recommendation, resignation, or application; Comptroller
certificates of bonds; election returns; and minutes of commissioners meetings
which include appointments to vacant offices. The state era officials with
bonds and/or oaths can be accessed alphabetically through a card index in the
State Archives search room.
Note: Some of the
bonds filed may actually be treasury or revenue bonds rather than security
bonds required to be posted by a public official.
Finally,
although Reconstruction oaths dating 1866-1873 can be found in the State-era
series, and are included in the card index, an additional 500 or so were later
found misfiled with unprocessed Adjutant General's Department records, and
therefore not included in the card index. These are described and listed in a
separate series, Reconstruction oaths. These consist of signed oaths, plus one
bond and a couple of appointment letters / notices of filing of oath of office,
dating 1866-1873, bulk 1870-1873. Most of these oaths are at the municipal or
county level.
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.

Bonds and oaths of county and State officials,
1846-1920,
70.91 cubic ft. |
|
Bonds are posted by public officials to secure their
fiduciary responsibilities. Oaths are sworn and filed by public officials to
assure their loyalty to the government, and their promise to uphold the duties
of the office. No one governmental office has had the responsibility for filing
all bonds and oaths. The Comptroller's office at some point maintained
certificates of bonds, and possibly even oaths. However, state law has required
many if not most state officers to file bonds and oaths with the Texas
Secretary of State (as early as 1846). |
|
These records are bonds and oaths
and some related records of elected and appointed officials of the State of
Texas, of districts, counties, and municipalities, dating 1846-1920. Not all
files will have a bond and an oath and some will have more than one for
successive offices. In some files additional materials may be present, such as
letters of appointment, application, recommendation, or resignation;
Comptroller certificates of bonds; schedules of property to accompany bonds;
election returns; and minutes of commissioners meetings which include
appointments to vacant offices. Most of the state-era officials with bonds
and/or oaths can be accessed alphabetically through a card index in the State
Archives search room. An alphabetical listing of additional bonds and oaths is
also included below, for records that were not included in the card index. |
|
Note: Although Reconstruction oaths dating
1866-1873 can be found in this series, and are included in the card index, an
additional 500 or so were later found misfiled with unprocessed Adjutant
General's Department records, and therefore not included in the card index.
These are described and listed in the next series, Reconstruction oaths.
|
|
In addition, there is a bonds register dating
1846-1855, giving the following information, county by county: county, year,
name of officer, names of securities, date of bond, amount, and remarks. There
is also a bonds and oaths letter book, dating 1882-1897. |
|
And finally,
there is a box of unprocessed bonds and oaths, dating 1917-1919, consisting of
bonds, oaths, appointment letters, and cover letters, dating 1917-1919. The
bulk of the officials in this group are state bank examiners, but there are
also members of seven small state agencies. Most of the folders contain
multiple appointees, so the inventory given is to agency rather than to the
individual. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged by State Archives staff
alphabetically by last name of the person. Additional bonds and oaths (not in
the card file index) are listed alphabetically at the end. The bonds and oaths
letter book is arranged chronologically. The unprocessed bonds and oaths are
neither listed nor physically arranged in any order. |

Reconstruction oaths,
1866-1873,
bulk 1870-1873,
0.5 cubic ft. |
|
Oaths are sworn and filed by public
officials to assure their loyalty to the government, and their promise to
uphold the duties of the office. The years of Reconstruction following the
Civil War involved two different kinds of oaths, the "test oath" (also called the
"iron-clad oath"), and a simpler loyalty oath
involving the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. An explanation of each
follows. |
|
Special Order 66, from Headquarters (HQ), District of Texas,
dated April 15, 1867, suspended all elections by civil authorities in Texas.
Although the governor was allowed to continue to make appointments in the
Executive Department of the State (so long as he notified the Headquarters of
the Military District), any appointments to offices previously filled by
election would thenceforth be made by the HQ of the 5th Military District.
Announcements of these appointments, which included county and municipal
offices, were then made by Special Orders from the HQ of the 5th Military
District, which stated that "the appointee will
forward to this Headquarters the oath prescribed by act of Congress approved
July 2, 1862." This oath, found in U.S. Statutes at Large, 37th Congress,
Session II, Chapter 128, 1862, is the "iron-clad
oath," stating in part "that I have never
voluntarily borne arms against the United States...; that I have voluntarily
given no aid, countenance, counsel, or encouragement to persons engaged in
armed hostility thereto...", etc. That this procedure was followed in
Texas is verified by a letter from the Office of the Secretary of Civil
Affairs, Headquarters, 5th Military District, to the Secretary of State of
Texas, dated March 1869. The last such Special Order of appointment to civil
office is dated April 16, 1870, which was also the date civil authority was
returned to the State, ending congressional Reconstruction and beginning
radical rule. |
|
The second kind of oath dominated the period of radical
Republican rule in Texas, under Governor Edmund J. Davis, 1870-1873. It stated,
among other things, "that I am not disqualified from
holding office under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States; (or as the case may be, my disability to hold office...has been removed
by Act of Congress)." The reference to 14th Amendment disqualification is
made clear by a third kind of oath, one of which was found dated April 29,
1870: "that I have never taken an oath as a member of
Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State
Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support
the Constitution of the United States, and afterwards engaged in insurrection
or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies
thereof." |
|
These records consist of signed oaths, plus one bond
and a couple of appointment letters / notices of filing of oath of office,
dating 1866-1873, bulk 1870-1873. There are files for more than 500 officials,
most of them at the municipal or county level. |
|
Additional Reconstruction
oaths (including some for individuals listed below) are found in the series
Bonds and oaths of county and State officials,
1846-1920. These have been determined not to be duplicated by each series; the
list below is provided because they are not represented in the card-file index
in the Archives search room. |
|
Note: More information about each file
(such as office, city and/or county), is available through a spreadsheet
accessible only to State Archives staff. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records
are arranged by State Archives staff alphabetically by last name of the person.
Although listed individually here, the oaths are filed in small groups, with
the folder label giving first and last entries in the folder. |
