Placed on the House Calendar, Calendar No. 19.
This resolution directs the House of Representatives to dismiss an election contest about the Representative from Texas's 30th District because the contest was filed too late. It is an internal House action deciding how the House will handle a specific contested election and does not create or change federal law. The dismissal ends the House's formal consideration of that particular challenge.
This is a simple House resolution that only requires action by the House of Representatives; it is not considered or voted on by the Senate or presented to the President, and it governs only the House's internal proceedings.
This House resolution dismisses the election contest for the office of Representative from Texas’s 30th Congressional District on the stated grounds that the contest was filed untimely with the House of Representatives.
This is a House procedural resolution, not a statute; it can be adopted by the House but does not become law.
Relative to its intended legislative type (an internal administrative House action dismissing an election contest), the resolution is concise and clear in purpose and effect. It provides an adequate, proportionate mechanism and implementation path for a one-off procedural disposition.
