Texas House backs residency change for state officials
The Texas House approved a constitutional amendment to allow statewide officeholders to live outside Austin. Drafted by Sen. Donna Campbell, the measure would require a statewide residency rule from 1876 be replaced. It cleared the Senate and passed the House 102 to 43, sending the proposal to a November referendum for voter decision. The Texas Education Agency has not yet received a complaint but will investigate within 60 days if filed.

State Capitol tightens filming rules amid ethics bill shift
The Texas House, 100 to 40, amended a sweeping ethics bill to allow filming subjects to question filmers and to enable lawsuits if footage is later released after a lie. The move follows pressure from the American Phoenix Foundation and ongoing filming at the Capitol. Republicans and Democrats sought protections without banning filming, citing state law constraints.
