Description

In this original proceeding, we must determine whether the Texas Constitution prevents Relator Jeff Wentworth from serving as a state senator in the Texas legislature. The legislative term would overlap, by twenty-one days, Wentworths previous term of appointment to the Board of Regents of the Texas State University System. The question is whether article III, section 19 of the Texas Constitution renders Wentworth ineligible because of this overlap. Wentworth denies his candidacy violates the constitution because he resigned his position on the Board long ago, and seeks mandamus relief to ensure his place on the ballot as the Republican nominee. Because we determine that Wentworths resignation prior to running for office places him outside the prohibitions of the constitution, we conditionally grant the writ.
