Proposing a constitutional amendment protecting the right to engage in the exploration for and production and export of oil, gas, and other minerals.

HJR 107 proposes a constitutional amendment protecting Texans' right to explore, produce, and export oil, gas, and other minerals (including uranium, sulfur, coal, and lignite) under "generally accepted practices." It would add Section 37 to the Texas Constitution, affirming this right while explicitly preserving the legislature’s authority to regulate such activities when necessary to protect public health/safety (with "clear and convincing evidence") or conserve natural resources under Article XVI. The amendment does not override the state’s power to acquire property for public use, including resource development. If approved by voters in November 2025, it would become part of the Texas Constitution.
