Best Answer
  • Edward Clark (March 1861 - November 1861)
  • Francis R. Lubbock (November 1861 - November 1863)
  • Pendleton Murrah (November 1863 - June 1865)

Lt. Gov. Edward Clark took over the governorship when Governor (and former Texas President) Sam Houston refused to swear his allegiance to the Confederate States of America.

Gov. Murrah fled Austin in June 1865 as it fell to Union forces. He was replaced by Lt. Gov. Fletcher Summerfield Stockdale as Interim Military Governor followed six days later by Andrew J. Hamilton as Provincial Military Governor.
