The fact that oil industry lobby groups have been able to strongly influence the Texas Railroad Commission's three commissioners instead of having to influence the governor is an example of how can increase interest group strength.

A fragmented government structure

Explanation: The presence of interest groups and there role in governance could be really disruptive especially if the ruling framework or structure is disjointed or in disorder. Interest groups often often hinder or hamper the equitable discharge of a leader's duties or responsibilites through selfish interest. The presence of interest groups is almost unavoidable but there influence on governance can be curtailed with the presence of a good and well structured government which will be difficult to penetrate. In the scenario above, it could be observed that the government structure isn't ordered as important issues and adjustments are made without the knowledge of the governor.
