Since there were comparatively few counties named after Texas governors, it seemed like a strange category on the table of governors, and therefore I removed that column from the table. I added a link to List of Texas county name etymologies in the "See also" section. — Bellhalla 14:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I took out the column on Number of executions because there was no information in the table. The column only listed lots and on G. W. Bush's name listed more than anyone. The governor of Texas has very limited powers in regards to executions in any account. 15:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


Why does this list exclude any references to the Mexican governors of Texas? It seems wrong to me to ignore this chapter of gubernatorial history. -feripe

[edit] Acting Governors

Through various edits, the Acting Governor section seems to have been removed. It looks like someone tried to format it and ended up commenting it out, and then another editor removed the commented section. I have restored this section and information because these "Acting Governors" are considered to have actually served as governor. If there are compelling reasons as to why the section was removed, I will listen. — Bellhalla 23:23, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion during Civil War

I am a bit perplexed by the listing of Fletcher Stockdale who served for Pendleton Murrah when Gov. Murrah fled to Mexico after serving in the Confederate Army. This inconsistency in dates and persons must be resolved.
