Applying to the Congress of the United States to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution for the limited purpose of proposing one or more amendments to the constitution to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and to limit the terms of office of federal officials and members of Congress.

Texas House Joint Resolution 54 (SJR 54) is a procedural resolution from the Texas Legislature requesting Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It seeks to propose amendments that would impose spending limits on the federal government, reduce federal power over states, and restrict terms for federal officials and members of Congress. This resolution does not create new laws but formally applies to Congress to initiate the convention process, requiring support from two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states) to proceed. It is a state-level action aimed at influencing future constitutional amendments, not an immediate policy change.
