Urging Congress to propose and submit to the states for ratification the "Keep Nine" amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

HCR 33 is a Texas legislative resolution urging Congress to propose a constitutional amendment to permanently maintain nine justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. It requests Congress submit the "Keep Nine" amendment - which would state "The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine justices" - for state ratification. The resolution directs Texas officials to send copies to Congress and the Texas delegation, asking them to enter it into the Congressional Record. This is a procedural request, not a binding law, and does not change current Supreme Court composition or federal procedures.
