Texas Constitution:Article III, Section 11: Difference between revisions

Note that the Texas Attorney General, in Tex. Att'y Gen. Op. [https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/opinion-files/opinion/2021/kp-0347_0.pdf#page=7 KP-347] (2021), opined that: "Article III, section 10 establishes a quorum of two-thirds of each House to do business, and it ties quorum to 'attendance.' A court could construe this term and others in the Texas Constitution to require physical presence in the chamber in order to attend and be counted for purposes of a quorum. Article III, section 11 of the Texas Constitution provides that each 'House may determine the rules of its own proceedings.' However, the House and Senate must determine procedures, consistent with the Texas and U.S. Constitutions, for providing public access, conducting public testimony, debate, and voting on legislation during the legislative session."
