How the Petition for Impeachment Works
Many have asked how does a petition for impeachment work. Since we do not have the right to recall state officials (only municipal), this is a very good question. The Texas House has the right to pass a proclamation for impeachment with a majority of House members. If and when that happens, the State Senate must hold an impeachment trial. This is the same process that’s used at the federal level.
The impeachment petition on our front page will be sent to Texas House members asking them to heed the call for Rick Perry and his transportation commissioner, Ric Williamson’s impeachments. Please get all your friends, family, co-workers and folks you know in your community to sign online and to print out the petition and take it to those not online. There must be a popular call for impeachment — and we believe our House members, those who really want to represent Texans, will heed the call. — Linda Curtis, Independent Texans
