Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 16, introduced by Zaffirini, seeks permission for both houses of the Texas Legislature to adjourn for more than three days. This request is in accordance with Section 17, Article III of the Texas Constitution, which stipulates that neither house may adjourn for an extended period without the consent of the other.

The resolution specifically requests that both houses be allowed to adjourn from Thursday, February 20, 2025, to Tuesday, February 25, 2025. This measure is intended to facilitate legislative operations during that timeframe.
