App. 1950) (holding that an oath to perform the duties of a special judge "agreeably to the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State" but did not include an obligation to "preserve, protect and defend" the constitutions and laws did not satisfy the constitutional oath requirements). Under the Aldine standard, the "determining factor ... is whether any sovereign function of the government is conferred upon the individual to be exercised by him for the benefit of the public largely independent of the control of oth~rs." Id. at 583. Courts of appeals and this office rely on the Aldine standard to determine whether a person is a public officer required to take the constitutional oath of office under article XVI, section 1. https://www2.texasattorneygeneral.gov/opinions/opinions/51paxton/op/2017/kp0140.pdf == review == Flatm v.
