The Texas Sovereignty Act establishes the Joint Legislative Committee on Constitutional Enforcement to review federal actions and determine if they are unconstitutional. The committee can declare a federal action unconstitutional if it exceeds federal authority as delegated by the U.S. Constitution. If a majority of the committee votes that a federal action is unconstitutional, the determination is sent to the governor. If approved by the governor or if the legislature votes in favor, the federal action is declared unconstitutional in Texas.
