The Governor of Texas can only grant clemency if it is recommended by the State Dept of Correction review board.

Know your role, troll!

I don't believe that to be true. If I remember correctly, the Gov. of Texas has NO power to grant clemency, period. The Gov. can grant a single 30 day stay and order a review by the clemency board. After that it is out of the Gov hands.
