Jarvis Johnson Named Texas Co-Chair for U.S. Term Limits

Houston attorney and former state representative Jarvis Johnson has been named a Texas state co-chair for U.S. Term Limits, adding a local political figure to the national advocacy group's leadership roster. For Houston, the announcement puts a familiar name from the city's Democratic politics into a statewide role tied to one of the most persistent debates in government reform.

U.S. Term Limits said Johnson will serve as a Texas co-chair as the organization pushes for term limits at the federal level. The group campaigns for limits on how long members of Congress can remain in office, and it frequently recruits current and former elected officials to support that effort in individual states.

Jarvis Johnson joins statewide term limits effort

Johnson is known in Houston and across Texas for his time in public office and for his work as an attorney. He represented parts of the Houston area in the Texas House and has remained active in public affairs after leaving office. His selection gives U.S. Term Limits a Texas co-chair with name recognition in one of the state's largest media markets.

The organization framed the appointment as part of its broader push to build support for congressional term limits through state-based networks. U.S. Term Limits has long argued that limits on time in office would reduce entrenched power in Washington and create more turnover in elected office. The announcement did not outline any new legislation tied specifically to Johnson's appointment.

What the appointment means in Texas

Texas often plays an outsized role in national political campaigns because of its size, donor base, and influence in Congress. Adding state co-chairs is one way advocacy groups organize outreach to voters, elected officials, and allied organizations. In that context, Johnson's role appears aimed at helping the term limits campaign expand its profile in Texas.

The source article focused on the appointment itself and did not list a Houston event, local office address, or a start date beyond the announcement. Public updates from U.S. Term Limits will likely show whether Johnson takes part in future media appearances, state advocacy efforts, or outreach tied to congressional term limits in Texas.

Readers looking for the next development should watch for any Texas events, endorsements, or legislative activity connected to U.S. Term Limits and its state leadership team.
