Excerpt from A Review of the Unconstitutional Laws, of the Twelfth Legislature of Texas: And the Oppressions

Texas were surrounded at the time the present Constitution of the State was formed.

We were then governed as a military province of the United States, and the government of the state was placed in the hands of J. J. Reynolds, Colonel in the U. 8. Army. An election was ordered by the military commander throughout the state for members to a State Convention, whose duty it Should be to frame a Constitution for the State after which the said Constitution was to be submitted to the people for ratification or rejection and if ratified, it was then to be submitted to the Congress of the United States for acceptance before it became of any force or effect. At an election held in November 1869 the Constitution was ratified by a majority of the votes cast. The Constitution itself provided for the holding of an election at the same time and place for Senators and Representatives in the Legislature and for all State, District and County officers, who were to be elected by the people under the Constitution.
