HJR 143 proposes a constitutional amendment to abolish the state lottery by repealing Section 47(e) of Article III of the Texas Constitution. If approved by voters, the amendment would mandate that the Texas Legislature pass laws prohibiting all lotteries and gift enterprises in the state, except those explicitly authorized by other subsections of the constitution. The resolution calls for the proposed amendment to be placed on the ballot for the November 4, 2025, general election, where voters will decide whether to approve the abolition of the state lottery​.
