Solution
Answer
The answer is 4 years
Explanation
Option 1: 3 years
This is incorrect. Texas state senators do not serve a 3-year term.
Option 2: 6 years
This is incorrect. While U.S. Senators serve 6-year terms, Texas state senators do not.
Option 3: 2 years
This is incorrect. Texas state senators serve longer terms than 2 years.
Option 4: 4 years
This is correct. Texas state senators serve 4-year terms, with elections staggered so that approximately half of the Senate is up for election every two years.
For the second question, Texas state senators represent approximately 819,000 constituents. This number reflects the population size each senator represents, which can vary slightly due to redistricting and population changes.
