Bill > HJR190

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Texas state legislators, specifically limiting members of the Texas House of Representatives to 12 consecutive years of service and members of the Texas Senate to 14 consecutive years of service. The proposed amendment would prevent a person from being elected to an office if their service would exceed these consecutive year limits, though it does not prevent a legislator from serving non-consecutive terms. The amendment clarifies that service in different legislative offices would not be combined for calculating term limits, and it allows a legislator to continue serving as a holdover until a successor is qualified. If approved, the amendment would be submitted to Texas voters in a election on November 4, 2025, with the ballot providing a clear option to vote for or against the proposed term limits.
