Texas HCR33 urges Congress to propose a constitutional amendment to keep the U.S. Supreme Court at nine justices.

Texas HCR33 urges Congress to propose and submit to the states for ratification the "Keep Nine" amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment would fix the number of U.S. Supreme Court justices at nine, maintaining the current structure that has been in place for over 150 years. The resolution argues that an independent Supreme Court is crucial for the system of checks and balances and that altering the number of justices could undermine the court's independence. The Texas secretary of state is directed to send copies of the resolution to the U.S.
