Proposing a constitutional amendment to require that future constitutional amendments become effective only if approved by a majority of the voters in at least three-fourths of the counties of the state.

Texas House Joint Resolution 121 (HJR121) proposes a change to the state constitution that would require any future constitutional amendments to be approved by a majority of voters in at least three-fourths (approximately 191 out of 254) of Texas counties to become effective. This means that even if a proposed amendment receives overall majority support statewide, it would not pass unless it also secures majority approval in a significant majority of counties.

Supporters of HJR121 argue that this measure ensures that constitutional amendments reflect the will of a broader geographic representation of Texans, preventing densely populated urban areas from disproportionately influencing state constitutional changes. They believe it promotes fairness by giving rural counties a stronger voice in the amendment process.

Critics contend that HJR121 could allow a minority of the population, residing in less populated counties, to block amendments favored by the majority of Texans. They argue that this approach undermines the principle of 'one person, one vote' by giving disproportionate power to voters in sparsely populated areas, potentially stalling progressive reforms supported by urban populations.
