Forty-nine states have applied for an Article V Convention (what is often called a "Constitutional Convention"), submitting more 700 applications. Article V does not permit the calling of a "constitutional convention" only a "convention for proposing amendments."

If you mean for a constitutional convention to propose amendments(s) to the Constitution, 2/3 of the state legislatures. As there are 50 states, 33 would be needed for the convention to be called.
