Research data were collected using an analysis instrument for HOTS indicators in Grade X Semester II physics textbooks. Findings indicate that the ER book exhibited the highest availability of critical thinking skills indicators within the "quite facilitating" category, while the TS book displayed the lowest availability. The sub-indicator of critical thinking often found in textbooks is the sub-indicator of concluding in IP books, with a percentage of 90%. Meanwhile, the lowest percentage, 0%, is in the deductive and inductive sub-indicators in the TS book.
