Henry Logan Stollenwerck, Jr. (December 6, 1930 – March 2, 2021) was a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives[3] in the 58th Texas Legislature from January 1963 to January 1965. He is best known, during his legislative tenure, for having proposed the ratification of the Corwin Amendment, more than a century after Congress passed it in 1861.[4]
During the 1964 Texas gubernatorial election he attempted to convince state Representative Horace Houston to run for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, but he chose to be the nominee for lieutenant governor and was selected as governor instead.[5][6]
