The resolution urges the United States Congress to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would require a balanced federal budget. It highlights the ongoing issue of the federal government consistently spending more than it receives in revenue, leading to a significant national deficit. The resolution argues that past attempts at fiscal restraint have been ineffective and that only a constitutional amendment, which requires a higher threshold for approval, can ensure lasting enforcement of spending limits.

The Texas Legislature emphasizes the importance of this amendment in promoting responsible use of taxpayer dollars and preventing future fiscal crises. The resolution calls for the Texas Secretary of State to send official copies to key federal leaders and members of the Texas congressional delegation, requesting that it be entered into the Congressional Record as a formal appeal to Congress.
