Proposing a constitutional amendment to limit the authority of the governor to veto a bill passed by both houses of the Texas Legislature with a vote of at least two-thirds of the members of each house.

SJR 38 proposes a constitutional amendment to prevent the Texas governor from vetoing bills passed by both legislative chambers with at least a two-thirds vote of members present in each house. If approved by the required supermajority, such bills would automatically become law without gubernatorial approval, bypassing the traditional veto process. This directly affects the governor's veto authority and requires legislators to secure stronger consensus for certain bills. The amendment does not change the governor's power to object to specific budget items within appropriations bills. This is a constitutional change, not a regular law, and would require voter approval if passed by the legislature.
