Magna Carta, that would be great but Texas has a weak executive branch by design. It was made this way after the Civil War to cut the legs out from under the Radical Republicans of the 1860s and 1870s who tried to change everything by fiat. The point is that the Governor can only persuade in Texas, not order.
