HJR 127 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right of every person to keep and bear arms.

This bill proposes amending the Texas Constitution to guarantee every person the right to keep and bear arms, removing existing language that permitted the legislature to regulate arm-wearing to prevent crime. If approved, it would prevent Texas from passing laws restricting how firearms are carried or worn for crime prevention purposes. The amendment would be submitted to Texas voters in the November 2025 election.
