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 specifies that nominations for the position will be called by the Secretary of State, with each member allowed to make a nominating speech of up to five minutes. Nominations must be seconded by at least one member, and each nominee can receive a maximum of three seconding speeches, each lasting no more than four minutes. The voting process is detailed, including provisions for acclamation if only one nominee remains, and procedures for recording votes using a voting machine or through a roll call, depending on the number of nominees.
If no nominee receives the required 76 votes in the initial election, a runoff will occur between the two nominees with the highest votes, continuing until one nominee achieves the necessary majority. 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.
