The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Texas Constitution that mandates the denial of bail for illegal aliens charged with felony offenses. It defines an "illegal alien" as a person who either entered the United States without proper inspection or who was admitted as a nonimmigrant but failed to maintain their status or comply with the conditions of their admission. If a judge or magistrate finds probable cause that the illegal alien engaged in conduct constituting a felony, bail must be denied pending trial.
This proposed amendment will be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will include a proposition allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment, which specifically addresses the issue of bail for illegal aliens facing felony charges.
