Although the Texas Constitution provides that the governor is the chief executive, it actually establishes executive by dividing executive powers among several independently elected officers.

Although the Texas Constitution provides that the governor is the chief executive, it actually establishes a plural executive by dividing executive powers among several independently elected officers.

Explanation:

By dividing power across various elected officials, as per the plural executive government system, the authority of the executive, which would be the governor or president, is limited. Texas utilizes a plural executive which denotes the Governor's powers are limited and dispersed amongst other representatives of government.

In other words, there's not one representative of the Texas government who is entirely responsible for the Texas Executive Branch. And all executives are elected individually, rendering them accountable to the public directly, not to the governor.
