HJR 103 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment specifying the authority of the attorney general to prosecute a criminal offense prescribed by the election laws of this state.

This proposed constitutional amendment would clarify that Texas's Attorney General has the authority to prosecute criminal election law violations alongside local district attorneys. It amends the state constitution to explicitly grant the Attorney General "concurrent jurisdiction" with county or district attorneys for these cases. The change requires voter approval in the 2025 election before taking effect. (Note: This is a procedural constitutional amendment, not a law affecting specific policies.)
