Texas government is extremely limited. It's only In Session every 2 years.

2 years because Texans had to travel on horseback to Austin. It was such a large and dangerous territory, the newly formed Republic decided fewer legislative meetings were best for their safety.

The Bennial sessions have remained in place because it works. The Biennial, 140 day Sessions have kept Texas Red for well over a century.
