Does the Governor of Texas have term limits?

The Governor of Texas faces no term limits. This means that an individual, in this case Gov. Greg Abbott (who has been in office nearly a decade), can serve multiple consecutive terms if re-elected.

Here are some key points:

  • No Term Limits:
    • The Texas Constitution does not impose any restrictions on the number of terms a governor can serve.  
  • Term Length:
    • A governor’s term in Texas is four years.

Therefore, a governor in Texas may be re-elected indefinitely.
