The proposed joint resolution, H.J.R. No. 192, seeks to amend the Texas Constitution by requiring the governor to obtain consent from two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate before calling more than one special session during a legislative biennium. Currently, the governor can convene the Legislature for a special session without legislative approval, but this amendment would limit the governor's ability to call additional special sessions after the first one unless the necessary legislative consent is secured.

If passed, this constitutional 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 requirement for legislative consent for multiple special sessions, thereby enhancing legislative oversight over the governor's authority in this regard.
