The proposed joint resolution, H.J.R. No. 141, seeks to amend the Texas Constitution by abolishing the automatic resignation requirement for certain municipal, county, or district officeholders who decide to run for another office. Currently, Section 65(b) of Article XVI mandates that these officials must resign if they become candidates for a different position. The resolution proposes to repeal this section, allowing officeholders to maintain their positions while campaigning for other offices.

If passed, this constitutional amendment will be presented to voters during the election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition for voters to either support or oppose the amendment, which aims to provide greater flexibility for elected officials in Texas regarding their candidacy for other positions without the risk of automatic resignation.
