This resolution formally dismisses a challenge to the 2024 election result in Texas's 28th Congressional District. Under federal rules, a losing candidate can contest a U.S. House election, but the challenge must be filed within a set deadline. The House found that this contest was filed too late, so it is dismissed without reviewing the underlying claims. The seat's current representative keeps their position.
