If the Governor of Texas, governor and Lieutenant Governor of Texas, lieutenant governor are both out of the state, the president ''pro tempore, pro '' is acting governor in their absence.

The Senate traditionally honors presidents ''pro tempore'' once during their term by having the governor and lieutenant governor leave the state on the same day and inaugurating the president ''pro tempore'' ...
