Texas voters approved all 17 constitutional amendments on the statewide ballot, covering a broad range of issues such as bail reform, property tax policy, education funding, and water infrastructure.

Proposition 1 allocates funding to the Texas State Technical College, creating financial support mechanisms to strengthen educational programs and workforce development.

Proposition 2 bans the implementation of a state-level capital gains tax, ensuring Texas continues its policy of not taxing investment income.

Proposition 3 introduces bail reform measures to modify conditions under which bail is granted, aiming to improve fairness within the state’s criminal justice system.

Proposition 4 establishes funding for water infrastructure improvements, directing resources toward maintaining and upgrading Texas’s water systems.

Proposition 5 grants property tax exemptions for the surviving spouses of veterans, providing financial relief to families of military service members.

Proposition 6 creates a flood mitigation fund to support projects designed to prevent and manage flooding across vulnerable regions.

Proposition 7 establishes an economic development fund to promote job creation and stimulate business growth statewide.

Proposition 8 enacts tax reforms for small businesses, reducing financial burdens and supporting local entrepreneurs.

Proposition 9 allocates additional funding for public safety, enhancing support for emergency services and law enforcement.

Proposition 10 reforms education funding to improve resource allocation and infrastructure for public schools.

Proposition 11 increases mental health funding, expanding access to treatment and strengthening mental health programs across Texas.

Proposition 12 provides tax incentives for renewable energy projects, encouraging investment in clean energy development.

Proposition 13 secures additional funding for transportation infrastructure, supporting road maintenance and public transit expansion.

Proposition 14 addresses housing affordability, promoting access to affordable housing for low- and middle-income families.

Proposition 15 strengthens cybersecurity and data protection, improving safeguards across state-operated digital systems.

Proposition 16 expands healthcare services for veterans, ensuring broader access to medical care for former military personnel.

Proposition 17 supports agricultural development, channeling resources to strengthen Texas’s farming and ranching industries.

The approval of all 17 measures demonstrates strong voter consensus on advancing state programs and reforms across multiple sectors, from infrastructure and education to public safety and economic development.
