Relating to removing eligibility for the position of Dean of the House and committee chairmanships and vice-chairmanships for Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives who intentionally broke quorum during a special session of the 89th Legislature.
This resolution removes eligibility for leadership roles from Democratic Texas House members who intentionally left the chamber on August 3, 2025, to prevent a quorum during a special session focused on redistricting. It specifically bars these members from serving as Dean of the House or committee chairs/vice-chairs for the duration of their current term. Eligibility may be restored through a two-thirds vote of the House if the member demonstrates renewed commitment to legislative duties. The resolution applies only to those who participated in the deliberate quorum break, as documented in the resolution's findings.
