You really need to learn to use a search engine. I found the correct info in less than 15 seconds. Here it is and shame on you for passing on false info...
THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE 3. LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT
Sec. 6. QUALIFICATIONS OF SENATORS. No person shall be a Senator, unless he be a citizen of the United States, and, at the time of his election a qualified voter of this State, and shall have been a resident of this State five years next preceding his election, and the last year thereof a resident of the district for which he shall be chosen, and shall have attained the age of twenty-six years.

You seem like a good person to turn to for factual answers. Here’s my question: how does a reasonably intelligent person attain the age of 44 without knowing they are a Canadian citizen?
Well, I was speaking of the United States Constitution, not the Texas constitution. I was wrong though, it says nine years, not eight years.
“No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.”
You have quoted the requirements for a Texas State Senator
not the requirements for a US Senator which are different.
