Quote: A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to athletic conference membership by institutions of higher education. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Subchapter Z, Chapter 51, Education Code, is amended by adding Section 51.979 to read as follows: Sec. 51.979. COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE MEMBERSHIP. Notwithstanding any other section of this code, a public senior college or university, as defined by Section 61.003(4), and the governing board of each institution may not change membership in a collegiate athletic conference without passage of a concurrent resolution by a majority vote in both legislative chambers. SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the legislative session.

And just as your Former Governor Perry, an Aggie Alum said he would let you all go to the SEC, Your current Governor Abbott, a Texas alum is going to let them go to the SEC.
