SCR 11 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Granting the legislature permission to adjourn for more than three days during the period beginning on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, and ending on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 11) grants Texas legislators permission to adjourn for more than three days during the week of February 5-11, 2025, which would otherwise violate the Texas Constitution’s three-day adjournment limit without mutual consent. It directly affects both the Texas House and Senate by allowing them to extend their legislative recess during this specific period. The resolution is procedural and does not change laws or policies - it only authorizes a temporary adjustment to the standard adjournment rules for that week.
