Proposing a constitutional amendment to limit the time that a person may serve as a member of the Texas Legislature or as a statewide elected officer in the executive branch.

HJR 44 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit service terms for Texas legislators and statewide elected officials. It would prevent members of the Texas House or Senate from serving more than six total regular sessions (with a Senate exception allowing a four-year term after five sessions), and bar statewide elected officials (like governor or attorney general) from serving 12 or more calendar years in office. Existing service before January 1, 2027, would not count toward these limits. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2025 election to take effect.
