The Texas governor's power is exceptionally weak compared to that of the governors of some other states primarily due to the **plural executive system**. In Texas, executive authority is divided among multiple elected officials rather than being concentrated in the governor's office. This system limits the governor's control over the executive branch, unlike in many other states where the governor has more extensive powers to appoint and oversee the heads of various state departments.
