The proposed joint resolution, H.J.R. No. 107, seeks to amend the Texas Constitution by adding a new section that explicitly protects the right of individuals to engage in the exploration, production, and export of minerals, including oil, gas, uranium, sulfur, lignite, and coal. This amendment defines "mineral" broadly and asserts that the people have the right to participate in generally accepted practices related to these activities. However, it also clarifies that this right does not impede the legislature's authority to regulate these practices for public health and safety or to conserve natural resources, provided there is clear and convincing evidence of necessity.

The resolution stipulates that the proposed amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the constitutional amendment aimed at safeguarding the rights associated with mineral exploration and production.
