Proposing a constitutional amendment relating to the determination of a quorum of the senate or house of representatives.
HJR 41 proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify that a simple majority of Texas Senate or House members constitutes a quorum for legislative business. The bill would amend Article III, Section 10 of the Texas Constitution to explicitly state "a majority" instead of the current wording (which may have been ambiguous). If approved by voters in the November 2025 election, this change would formalize the existing practice without altering the current quorum requirement. The amendment directly affects how Texas legislators determine whether a sufficient number of members are present to conduct official business.
