The governor of Texas is the chief executive officer of the state,
elected by the citizens every four years. The duties and responsibilities of
the governor include serving as commander-in-chief of the state's military
forces; convening special sessions of the legislature for specific purposes;
delivering to the legislature at the beginning of each regular session a report
on the condition of the state, an accounting of all public money under the
governor's control, a recommended biennial budget, an estimate of the amounts
of money required to be raised by taxation, and any recommendations he deems
necessary; signing or vetoing bills passed by the legislature; and executing
the laws of the state. The governor can grant reprieves and commutations of
punishment and pardons, upon the recommendation of the Board of Pardons and
Paroles, and revoke conditional pardons. He appoints numerous state officials
(with the consent of the Senate), fills vacancies in state and district offices
(except vacancies in the legislature), calls special elections to fill
vacancies in the legislature, fills vacancies in the United States Senate until
an election can be held, and serves as ex officio member of several state
boards.
The office of governor was first established by the Constitution of
1845 and superseded the office of president of the Republic of Texas. The
position now exists under authority of Article IV, Section 1 of the
Constitution of 1876 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 401. To be elected
governor, a person must be at least thirty years old, a United States citizen,
and a resident of Texas for at least five years preceding the election. In
1972, the term of office was extended from two to four years, effective in
1975. Since 1856 the governor has had the use of the Governor's Mansion.
In 1957 the Office of the Governor had 30 full-time equivalent
employees including an executive secretary, a director of the Budget Division,
and the state coordinator of civil defense and disaster relief.
Price Daniel's political career spanned more than four decades and
included all three branches of state government. Born in 1910 at Dayton, Texas,
he was reared in Liberty and Fort Worth. After graduating from high school in
Fort Worth, he attended Baylor University where he earned a degree in
journalism. The following year, 1932, he received a law degree and returned to
Liberty where he opened a law office.
During the next seven years, Price Daniel practiced law and assisted
with publishing two local newspapers that he co-owned. In 1939 he was elected
to the Texas House of Representatives and became a member of the State
Democratic Executive Committee. The following year he married Jean Houston
Baldwin and they had four children. After serving three terms in the
legislature, he was chosen Speaker of the House in 1943. However, he resigned
to enlist in the army as a private, though he soon completed officer candidate
school. Stationed in Japan and the Pacific, he attained the rank of captain
when he was discharged in May 1946.
Upon his return to Texas, he entered the race for attorney general
and won the election. Running unopposed, he was reelected twice. His five years
as Attorney General were noted for efforts against organized gambling and for
Texas' rights to the Tidelands, the hallmark of his career. Daniel was elected
U.S. Senator in 1952, serving as chairman of the senate's judiciary
subcommittee and continuing to argue for Texas' rights to three million acres
of submerged lands. He sponsored a bill that would return the Tidelands to
Texas. His efforts resulted in passage and it became a law with President
Eisenhower's signature. After four years as senator Price Daniel was elected
governor, an office he held for three consecutive terms, from 1957 to 1963.
Attempting to run for an unprecedented fourth term, he was defeated by John
Connally in the gubernatorial primaries.
Although he established law offices in Austin and Liberty, Price
Daniel returned to politics after a brief respite. He served as director in the
office of Emergency Preparedness during the presidential administration of
Lyndon Johnson. Soon thereafter, he was appointed to the Texas Supreme Court,
remaining an associate justice from 1971 until his retirement in 1979. Daniel
served as a special assistant to the Texas Attorney General for the Texas v.
Louisiana boundary case. Maintaining memberships in many legal professional
organizations, he was also active in a variety of civic and church activities
until his death on August 25, 1988.
Price Daniel was governor of Texas from January 15, 1957 to January
15, 1963. The governor of Texas is the chief executive officer of the state.
The governor appoints heads of state commissions and boards, members of
university boards of regents, state and regional commissions, and some judges.

consisting of correspondence, recommendations, acceptances, and press releases.

Archives and Information Services Division, Texas State Library and Archives
Commission.
Price Daniel transferred his records as Governor of Texas to the Texas
State Library and Archives Commission at the close of his administration as
Governor of Texas in 1963. Included with the gubernatorial records were the
majority of Daniel's records as Texas Attorney General and a large quantity of
his papers as the United States Senator from Texas.
The Texas State Library transferred these documents to the Sam
Houston Regional Library and Research Center in 1977. In 1989 Mrs. Price Daniel
donated the private papers of Price Daniel as attorney general and governor in
addition to his papers as U.S. Senator from Texas.
