Yesterday, the 1876 Texas Constitution—which still governs Texans today—celebrated the sesquicentennial of its adoption!🎉 Come hear all about it this Thursday with #SCOTX @JusticeYoungTX, @StMarys_Law Prof. Michael Ariens & @laleyen12852064! sanantoniobar.org/?pg=events&evA…

Happy 150th Birthday to the Texas Constitution, which took effect on February 15, 1876! Let’s make 2026—this sesquicentennial year, our “Texquicentennial”—one in which we Texans renew our commitment to active self-government by an informed and virtuous sovereign People. You too can go to the Texas State Library and Archives in Austin to see the one and only copy of the 1876 Constitution, along with a wonderful exhibit about its history.

The latest issue of our Journal explores how the law helps our institutions function, retain authority, and adapt in enduring ways. Check it out: bit.ly/4qQHeuz

The Texas Supreme Court Historical Society has worked with the State Bar of Texas to present the eight-centuries-long story of MAGNA CARTA rights and their Americanization under the U.S. Constitution for over a decade, starting in 2014.

I was honored to present “MAGNA CARTA Comes to America—and Texas,” the 1st C.L.E. program of the new State Bar Constitutional Law Section. I took part in a Texas Supreme Court Historical Society celebration of MAGNA CARTA’s 800th ANNIVERSARY at the 2015 SBOT Ann. Mtg. 📜⚔️🛡️🇬🇧🇺🇸

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your wife, Justice Browning. ❤️👏🏻

This is an absolutely phenomenal piece of James Bond media. Sean Connery (on the set of GOLDFINGER) explaining the real life inspiration for changing 007s firearm of choice. You don’t get behind the scenes videos like this anymore.

Traces of Texas reader Jim Mangum kindly shared this remarkable shot of a buffalo (I know it's actually a bison) in Caprock Canyons State Park, where they roam freely. Said Jim: "He had just finished his dust bath and seemed to be contemplating the tragic history of millions of his kind." It's a sensational shot. What impresses me the most is that Jim was able to pick out the bison's eye so clearly from its dark fur background, when both are in shadow. Having taken thousands of shots of buffaloes, their eyes have a tendency to disappear when the light isn't shining directly at them. The lighting here is superb, the composition and sharpness is superb ... you really see the heft and strength of these awesome creatures. Thanks, Jim. Super duper!
