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]
