Yes, that is true. According to the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President, in case of a vacancy in the office of the President.
After the Vice President is the Speaker of the House. After the Speaker is the President pro tempore of the Senate. Following that is the Secretary of State.
If the Vice President cannot succeed the President of the United States, the next in line is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Following the Speaker, the President pro tempore of the Senate and then the members of the Cabinet, in the order of their departments' creation, would follow in the presidential line of succession. This line of succession is established by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947.
Vice president, speaker of the house, president pro tempore of the senate, secretary of state
