Proposing a constitutional amendment to limit the time that a person may serve as a member of the Texas House of Representatives to 12 consecutive years and as a member of the Texas Senate to 14 consecutive years.
HJR 190 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit Texas House members to 12 consecutive years in office and Texas Senate members to 14 consecutive years. The amendment would apply only to future service in the same chamber and not affect current legislators. If approved by voters in the November 2025 election, it would prevent any individual from serving beyond these consecutive term limits. The measure does not alter current terms or apply to service across different offices.
