The Texas Attorney General, in Tex. Att'y Gen. Op. [https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/opinion-files/opinion/1982/mw0460.pdf#page=4 MW-460] (19??), opined that: "We conclude that it is constitutionally impermissible for the legislature to delegate to legislative committees the power to nullify rules proposed or adopted by agencies in the executive branch of government. As a matter of interest we note that a constitutional amendment which would have expressly allowed a delegation of such power to legislative committees was proposed in 1979 but defeated by the people."
