HJR 94 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment protecting the right to produce meat and meat food products naturally derived from livestock.

This bill proposes amending the Texas Constitution to explicitly protect the right of individuals to produce meat and meat food products naturally derived from livestock as part of ranching activities. It would add language to Article I, Section 36(a) guaranteeing this right for property owners or lessees engaged in ranching. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2025 election, where voters would decide on the proposition titled "The constitutional amendment protecting the right to produce meat and meat food products naturally derived from livestock." It directly affects Texas ranchers and livestock producers by seeking constitutional protection for their current meat production practices.
