H.J.R. No. 98 is a joint resolution from the Texas Legislature that calls upon the United States Congress to convene a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be to propose amendments aimed at imposing fiscal restraints on the federal government, limiting its power and jurisdiction, and establishing term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. The resolution emphasizes the role of state legislatures as protectors of liberty against federal overreach and highlights concerns over national debt and unfunded federal mandates.
The resolution asserts that the Texas Legislature's application for a convention is a continuing request until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have similarly applied to Congress. It mandates that the Texas Secretary of State send official copies of the resolution to various federal and state officials, urging them to support this initiative. The resolution was adopted by both the Texas House and Senate in April and May of 2025, respectively.
