Advisors and Members,

I respectfully submit to you the Delegate Business Session Packet for the 98th Annual Texas FFA Convention.

As stated in Article XVII of the Texas FFA Constitution ,Amendments to the Texas FFA Constitution and/or Bylaws may be submitted by an Area FFA Association, the Board of Student Officers, or State FFA Board of Directors. The proposed amendments to the State Constitution and/or Bylaws from an Area Association must be submitted in writing to the Texas FFA at least 60 days prior to the next State FFA Convention for review by the State FFA Board of Directors and the Board of Student Officers. All proposed amendments to the Texas FFA Constitution and/or Bylaws must be submitted by the State Executive Director to the local chapters at least 30 days prior to the next State FFA Convention. The State FFA Officers shall present the delegates at the State Convention. An amendment to the State FFA Constitution may be adopted by a two-thirds vote of the votes cast by the official delegates at the State Convention. An amendment to the Bylaws shall require a majority vote of the official delegates at the State FFA Convention. Amendments to the Bylaws must not conflict with the State or National FFA Constitutions.

The initial draft of the 98th Annual Business Session Packet is included here for your review. This draft includes one constitutional amendment presented by the Texas FFA State Officers and the Texas FFA Board of Directors. Unless additional amendments are submitted, this will be the only amendment presented to delegates during the business session on Wednesday, July 8, 2026.

The association balance sheet and the Texas FFA Association budget for 2026–2027 will be added to this document following the conclusion of the Q4 Board Meeting in June.
