The resolution, S.J.R. No. 87, proposes an amendment to the Texas Constitution that would mandate the denial of bail for individuals accused of specific serious felony offenses, such as murder, aggravated assault, and trafficking of persons, if they have prior felony convictions or were out on bail for similar offenses at the time of the new charge. The amendment outlines that a judge or magistrate must determine, after a hearing, that there is probable cause to believe the accused committed the offense and meets the criteria of having a prior conviction or being on bail for a related offense.

If passed, this constitutional amendment would be presented to voters in an election scheduled for November 4, 2025. The ballot will allow voters to express their support or opposition to the proposition, which aims to enhance public safety by restricting bail for repeat offenders of serious crimes. The resolution emphasizes the right of the accused to legal representation during the hearing process to determine bail eligibility.
