Relating to the line of succession of individuals to serve as commander-in-chief of the state military forces.

HB 2329 amends Texas law to clarify the line of succession for the commander-in-chief of the state military forces when the governor is unable to serve. It specifies that the adjutant general would assume command unless state constitution or law requires the lieutenant governor or senate president to perform the governor's duties. The bill directly affects Texas military leadership structure during gubernatorial vacancies or incapacity. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and makes no changes to existing constitutional succession rules.
