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superseded the office of president of the Republic of Texas.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 was born on October 10, 1910, in Dayton, Texas, the eldest son of Marion
Price and Nannie Partlow Daniel. After graduating from high school in Fort Worth, he
attended Baylor University where he earned a degree in journalism in 1931. The
following year he received his law degree at Baylor and opened a law practice in
Liberty, Texas.
During the next seven years, Price Daniel practiced law and assisted with publishing
two local newspapers 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; they had four children. After
serving three terms in the legislature, he was chosen as speaker of the house in
1943. After serving one term as speaker, he resigned to enlist in the United States
Army as a private. The following year he graduated from officers' candidate school
in Lexington, Virginia, as a judge advocate general. Stationed in Japan and the
Pacific, he had 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 in 1947. Running unopposed, he was reelected twice. His tenure as attorney
general was noted for efforts to disband organized gambling operations in Texas;
defense of the University of Texas Law School in its refusal to admit
African-American applicant Heman Marion Sweatt; and defense of the state's ownership
of its submerged lands in the Gulf of Mexico (the tidelands) against claims of the
federal government. The tidelands case was the hallmark of his political career. In
1952 Daniel was elected to the United States Senate. He sponsored a bill that would
return tidelands ownership to Texas, and President Eisenhower signed it into law on
May 22, 1953. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he chaired a special
Subcommittee on Improvements in the Federal Criminal Code and directed a nationwide
probe that resulted in the most stringent narcotics regulation in the nation's
history.
After four years as senator, Price Daniel returned home and successfully ran for
governor of Texas in 1956. He served as governor for three consecutive terms, from
1957 to 1963. During his tenure he successfully pushed through the legislative
programs for highways, prison reform, water conservation, higher teacher salaries,
and improved care for the mentally disabled. He also worked to establish the Texas
State Archives and Library building. Attempting to run for an unprecedented fourth
term, he was defeated by John Connally in the Democratic primary.
Daniel then returned to his law practice in Liberty and Austin. In 1967 President
Lyndon appointed him director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, a post that
gave him a position on the National Security Council. He also served as the
president's liaison to the governors of the states and territories. In 1971 Daniel
was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Texas Supreme Court. Elected an associate
justice in his own right in 1972 and again in 1978, he retired in 1979. Daniel
served as a special assistant to the Texas attorney general for the Texas v. Louisiana boundary case, as a trustee of Baylor
College of Medicine, and on the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. He also
served as legal counsel for the Alabama-Coushatta Indian tribe. He was a member of
the Sons of the Republic of Texas, Knights of the Order of San Jacinto, and the
Philosophical Society of Texas and was active in numerous church and civic
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. These records are appointments
files of Texas Governor Price Daniel, dating 1947, 1957-1963, consisting of
correspondence, recommendations, acceptances, and press releases.
