Who held this seat

This is the Legislative Reference Library's list of Texas governors, back to 1846. When that page lists two terms in one cell, they are two rows here. The line under a name is only what that page says about the term. No line means the page does not say how the term started or ended. The library prints U for one term and does not spell that letter out.
