HJR 208 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment to limit the time that a person may serve as speaker of the house of representatives.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would prevent any Texas House member from being elected Speaker more than once. If approved by voters in the November 2025 election, it would bar individuals who previously served as Speaker during any regular legislative session from running for the position again. The amendment would take effect immediately upon voter approval, altering the eligibility rules for the House leadership role.
