The original drafters of The Texas Constitution and it's high level of detail meant that the Constitution could easily become outdated and would need to be changed to keep up with society. They therefore made it easy to amend, and it has been amended nearly 500 times, more than only 3 other states.

These two factors - the length and the ease of amendment - mean that in Texas, the Constitution functions more as an adjunct to the statutes than a static set of governing principles. It is a dynamic, living document and was designed to be changed to reflect the growth and development of the state.

The hilarity that you and the satterfield shitheads embrace this topic is dumbfounding.

The portions referenced haven’t been changed, aggy, so they still stand.

You need to work on your reading comprehension.

Late edit: To my knowledge, the A&M System and its Board of Regents was created by an act of the state legislature. If you can demonstrate that either were created by constitutional amendment, then I apologize (but I don’t think either were).

You are welcome to prove me wrong.
