The Texas Legislature passed the Convention of States resolution in May 2017.
But could all of the hard work that it took to cross the finish line be wiped away this year?
Texas representative Cody Vasut will discuss that possibility and what he is doing to prevent it as the featured guest on the March edition of COS at Home.
COS at Home is hosted by Convention of States Action regional director and political liaison Jonathan Viaud, and airs live on March 5 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Watch by clicking below:
When Texas became the eleventh state to pass an Article V application, an expiration clause was included -- and that expiration date is 2025.
As Convention of States Action president and co-founder Mark Meckler recently said on a Texas Public Policy Foundation podcast, "Our argument is that liberty never expires."
In that spirit, Rep. Vasut has co-authored House Joint Resolution (HJR) 22, which "rescinds the automatic rescission" of Article V applications made to Congress by the Texas Legislature, and will keep Texas from backsliding.
Jonathan will also ask Rep. Vasut about when he first became acquainted with Article V and Convention of States, in addition to discussing issues that greatly impact Texas such as border security.
Rep. Vasut was educated at Texas A&M University, where he graduated summa cum laude with a B.B.A. and M.S. in Management, and the University of Houston Law Center, where he earned a Juris Doctorate. He is an attorney by trade and was first elected to the Texas House in 2020. He represents District 25.
This edition of "COS at Home" will also feature timely updates about Convention of States Action's significant progress across the country already this year, as well as informative segments highlighting the grassroots, all produced by the talented Garrett “Producer G” Humbertson.
