If you like the idea of term limits, then you might like Rep. Andy Hopper's HJR 190, which proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the consecutive terms that members of the Texas Legislature can serve. House members would be limited to 12 consecutive years, while Senators would be limited to 14 consecutive years. The term limits apply separately to each chamber, meaning service in the House does not count toward the Senate limit, and vice versa. Legislators reaching the limit would be ineligible for re-election but could hold office as a temporary "holdover" until a successor is qualified.

The proposal died in the House State Affairs committee, chaired by Republican Ken King.
