All 17 Texas Constitutional amendments pass

oters in Texas approved a series of tax exemptions and bans as well as new investments in state infrastructure and research as all 17 constitutional amendments on the ballot passed.

Most propositions restrict the creation of certain taxes or allow for new tax exemptions. Other amendments will create state investments in water infrastructure, dementia research and technical college funds.

Proposition 10 received the largest share of voter support Tuesday night. The amendment would temporarily lower homeowners’ property taxes if their homes are destroyed by fires.

After all unofficial results were posted, the closest race was for Proposition 6, which would ban the creation of new taxes on securities transactions, like stock trading. The next closest was Proposition 17, which would allow the state government to prevent market values of properties in border counties from increasing due to border security infrastructure.
