HJR 128 proposes a constitutional amendment to replace the term "Gulf of Mexico" with "Gulf of America" in the Texas Constitution. The resolution revises multiple constitutional provisions, including those related to public beach access, ad valorem tax relief for offshore drilling equipment, motor vehicle regulations on beaches, and coastal county taxation for seawalls and sanitation infrastructure. If approved by the Legislature, the amendment will be placed on the ballot for voter approval in the November 4, 2025 election​.
