H.J.R. No. 13 is a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Texas Constitution that clarifies the authority of the Attorney General in prosecuting criminal offenses related to the state's election laws. The amendment seeks to add a provision that grants the Attorney General concurrent jurisdiction with county or district attorneys to represent the state in such prosecutions. This change aims to enhance the enforcement of election laws and ensure that the Attorney General has the necessary authority to act in cases of election-related crimes.

If approved, this constitutional amendment will be presented to voters during an election scheduled for May 2, 2026. The ballot will include a proposition allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the amendment, which is framed as specifying the Attorney General's prosecutorial powers concerning election law violations in Texas.
