House Joint Resolution 102 proposes an amendment to the Texas Constitution to clarify that the public, individually and collectively, has an unrestricted right to use and a right of ingress to and egress from a public beach, and to establish that this right is dedicated as a permanent easement in favor of the public. The resolution authorizes the legislature to enact laws to protect the right of the public to access and use a public beach and to protect the public beach easement from interference and encroachments. The resolution establishes that its provisions do not create a private right of enforcement.
