The resolution, H.C.R. No. 33, emphasizes the importance of an independent U.S. Supreme Court as a vital component of the checks and balances system that safeguards constitutional rights. It highlights the historical precedent of the Supreme Court being composed of nine justices for over 150 years and expresses concern over potential attempts by the president and Congress to alter this structure, which could undermine the court's independence.

In response, the Texas Legislature urges the U.S. Congress to propose the "Keep Nine" amendment to the Constitution, which would formally establish that the Supreme Court shall consist of nine justices. The resolution calls for the Texas Secretary of State to send official copies to key federal officials and members of the Texas congressional delegation, requesting that it be recorded in the Congressional Record as a formal memorial to Congress.
