Abstract: Since flavor neutrino masses

M_{m u m u, a u a u, m u a u}

can be expressed in terms of

M_{e e, e m u, e a u}

, mutual dependence among

M_{m u m u, a u a u, m u a u}

is derived by imposing some constraints on

M_{e e, e m u, e a u}

. For appropriately imposed constraints on

M_{e e, e m u, e a u}

, we show a texture of neutrino mass matrix giving rise to maximal CP violation. When the atmospheric neutrino mixing is also maximal, we discuss various specific textures of neutrino mass matrices including the texture with

M_{a u a u} = M^{a} s t_{m u m u}

derived as the simplest solution to the constraint of

M_{a u a u} - M_{m u m u}

=imaginary, which is required by the constraint of

M_{e m u} c o s h e t a_{23} - M_{e a u} s i n h e t a_{23}

=real for

c o s 2 h e t a_{23} = 0

. It is found that Majorana CP violation depends on the phase of

M_{e e}

.
