If you keep reading to point #9 on Constitutional Issues, they say "Limiting Overreaching State Government: We recognize that the sovereignty of this State and its citizenry has been imperiled and threatened by the ongoing overreach of state elected officials and agencies."
It's pretty clear that they only mean "overreach" where they don't politically agree. They are perfectly fine when the Governor overrides local rules and ordinances [0] [1] [2], because it furthers their political goals of consolidating power with the Executive rather than the stated goal of limiting government. This action expands the scope and role of government in Texan's lives, that is a fact.
> There’s no enumerated powers problem with the Texas Supreme Court Court deciding what law schools qualify to be admitted to its own bar.
No, it's a political powers problem, which is one of the main things they claim to be against increasing.
