H.R. No. 1 is a resolution from the Texas House of Representatives outlining the procedures for electing the Speaker of the House during the 89th Legislature. The resolution mandates that nominations for the Speaker be made from the floor, with each member allowed to make a nominating speech of up to five minutes. Nominations must be seconded by at least one member, and a maximum of three seconding speeches per nominee is permitted. Voting procedures are detailed, including the use of voting machines for up to three nominees and roll call votes for more than three nominees. All votes are recorded, and the results are announced by the Secretary of State.
If a nominee receives 76 or more votes, they are declared elected; otherwise, a runoff occurs between the top two nominees until one achieves the required votes. The resolution also addresses tie votes and outlines the process for administering the oath of office to the elected Speaker. The resolution was adopted by the House on January 14, 2025, with a vote of 145 in favor and 5 against.
