Proposing a constitutional amendment to change impeachment rules in Texas, allowing officers to remain in office during impeachment proceedings.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change the impeachment process in Texas. It mandates that the House of Representatives must have a committee adopt and file articles of impeachment before considering them. It also repeals the requirement that an officer be suspended from office during impeachment proceedings. The amendment would take effect on January 1, 2026, and would apply to impeachments of officers not yet under investigation by that date.
