HJR 204 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting the legislature from restricting an individual's access to abortion and related health care.

HJR 204 proposes a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the Texas legislature from restricting an individual's access to abortion or related health care when the individual consults with a licensed physician. If passed, this amendment would directly affect Texans seeking abortion services by preventing future state laws from limiting access to these services. The bill adds a new section to the Texas Constitution stating the legislature may not restrict such care through general law. The amendment would be submitted to voters in the November 2025 election for approval.
