Proposing a constitutional amendment to include the United States Space Force in references to military service in the state constitution.

HJR 165 proposes amending the Texas Constitution to explicitly include the U.S. Space Force in references to military service. It updates two constitutional sections: Section 40(a) adds "Space Force" to lists of military personnel (like Army, Navy, and Air Force), and Section 72(h) defines "armed forces" to include the Space Force. This change directly affects how military service is referenced in state law, ensuring the Space Force is recognized alongside other military branches. The amendment requires voter approval in a 2025 election. The bill does not create new benefits or policies - only adjusts constitutional wording to reflect the Space Force's status as a military branch.
