Proposing a constitutional amendment limiting to two the number of consecutive terms for which a person may be elected or appointed to hold certain state offices.
SJR 4 proposes a constitutional amendment limiting elected or appointed officials in specific Texas statewide offices to two consecutive terms. It directly affects the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, comptroller, land commissioner, attorney general, and agriculture commissioner. The amendment would prevent someone from serving a third consecutive term in these roles, though nonconsecutive terms would still be allowed. The measure must be approved by voters in the November 2026 election.
