Election Day Brings Changes To The Texas Constitution

November 9, 2023 by Willy1550

Texas voters approved all except one of the 14 proposed additions to the State Constitution on Election Day.

Raising the Homestead Exemption was supported by almost 85% of voters statewide. Increasing state teacher retirement benefits was supported by 84 % of  voters. A new fund to add and improve state parks was supported by 76%, and also winning were a new statewide “Water Fund,” “Broadband Fund,” and a new “Energy Fund.”

The one Amendment that was defeated, would have raised the mandatory retirement age for State Justices and Judges. That was defeated by 62% of voters statewide.
