Senate Joint Resolution No. 39 proposes an amendment to the Texas Constitution that would enable the legislature to override a governor's veto after the conclusion of a regular legislative session. The amendment modifies Section 14 of Article IV, detailing the process for reconsidering bills that have been vetoed by the governor. It establishes a procedure for the legislature to reconvene 22 days after adjournment to reconsider any bills or items of appropriation that were disapproved by the governor, provided they received at least a two-thirds vote in one house during the regular session.

The resolution stipulates that the reconsideration period cannot exceed five consecutive days and that during this time, the legislature may only address the vetoed bills or items. If the legislature successfully overrides the veto with a two-thirds majority in both houses, the bill or item will become law despite the governor's objections. This proposed amendment will be presented to voters for approval in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025, allowing the public to decide on the legislative power to counteract gubernatorial vetoes post-session.
