Answer:

The Constitution is the foundational governing document of the State of Texas, second only to the U.S. Constitution. All Texas laws and regulations must comply with the Constitution or risk being invalidated by the state courts.

Texas' constitution is one of the largest state constitutions in the U.S. - only Alabama's and California's are longer. It's notable for including a lot of very specific topics, including local government, taxes, and private property rights, that many other states leave to their legislatures. Because of its unique history, Texas has chosen to protect these topics in the strongest way possible. However, the drafters of the Texas Constitution recognized that this high level of detail meant that the Constitution could easily become outdated
