Answer:

The answer is False, Sam Houston did not write the Constitution of the State of Texas.

Step-by-step explanation:

While Texas has had more than half a dozen Constitutions, the one still in place today actually took affect in 1876. It contains seventeen different articles and is considered the longest constitution in number of words, only after Alamaba's constitution.

Sam Houston, while an influential man and President of Texas was not involved in writing this constitution. He actually became the President of Texas in 1836 and the city of Houston is named after him. However, he was mostly involved in normalizing relations with Mexico and had to deal with the tough balance of payments of the State.
