To determine which individual would NOT be eligible to run for governor in Texas, let's review the eligibility requirements. According to Texas law, a candidate for governor must meet the following criteria:
1. Be a citizen of the United States.
2. Be a resident of Texas for at least five years.
3. Be at least 30 years of age.
Now, let's evaluate each option:
- **a person who is not registered to vote**: Being registered to vote is not a requirement to run for governor, so this individual is still eligible.
- **a person who has only lived in Texas for seven years**: This individual meets the residency requirement (which is at least five years), so they are eligible.
- **a person who was born elsewhere but has become a U.S. citizen**: As long as this person is a U.S. citizen (naturalized or born), they are eligible to run for governor.
- **a person who is only twenty-eight years of age**: This individual does NOT meet the age requirement of being at least 30 years old, so they are NOT eligible to run for governor.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is:
**a person who is only twenty-eight years of age**.
1. Be a citizen of the United States.
2. Be a resident of Texas for at least five years.
3. Be at least 30 years of age.

- **a person who is not registered to vote**: Being registered to vote is not a requirement to run for governor, so this individual is still eligible.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is:
**a person who is only twenty-eight years of age**.
