The United States Congress authorized the construction of Texas, the second Navy ship to be named after that state, on 24 June 1910.[12][13] Bids for Texas were accepted from 27 September to 1 December with the winning bid of $5,830,000—excluding the price of armor and armament—submitted by Newport News Shipbuilding.[7][14][15] The contract was signed on 17 December and the plans were delivered to the building yard seven days later.[8][12][16] Texas's keel was laid down on 17 April 1911 at Newport News, Virginia. She was launched on 18 May 1912, sponsored by Miss Claudia Lyon, daughter of Colonel Cecil Lyon, Republican national committeeman from Texas.[17] The ship was commissioned on 12 March 1914 with Captain Albert W. Grant in command.[13][16][18][19]
Texas's main battery consisted of ten 14-inch (356 mm)/45 caliber Mark 1 guns,[20] which could fire 1,400 lb (635 kg) armor-piercing[21] shells to a range of 13 mi (11 nmi; 21 km). Her secondary battery consisted of twenty-one 5-inch (127 mm)/51-caliber guns.[22] She also mounted four 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes for the Bliss-Leavitt Mark 8 torpedo, one each on the port-side bow and stern and starboard bow and stern. The torpedo rooms held 12 torpedoes total, plus 12 naval defense mines.[20] Texas and her sister New York were the only battleships to store and hoist their 14-inch ammunition in cast-iron cups, nose-down.[8][13][23]
