Proposing a constitutional amendment prescribing certain requirements applicable to the impeachment of an officer by the house of representatives and repealing the requirement that an officer against whom articles of impeachment have been preferred be suspended from the exercise of the duties of office during the pendency of the impeachment.

HJR 29 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Texas impeachment procedures. It requires House committees to file impeachment articles before the full House can act, mandates a 14-day waiting period after filing, and requires committees to share all evidence with all House members within 24 hours. The bill also adds requirements for witnesses to testify under oath and gives impeached officials the right to cross-examine witnesses. Most significantly, it repeals the current rule requiring suspended duties during impeachment proceedings. The amendment must be approved by voters in the November 2025 election to take effect.
