All 17 propositions that were put to Texas voters during Tuesday’s election passed, most with wide margins.
The constitutional amendments spanned a variety of issues, including bail reform, parental rights, water security and dementia research. However, most of them were aimed at taxes.
Big tax breaks for homeowners
What we know:
The biggest tax break for homeowners comes in the form of Proposition 13, which increases the homestead tax exemption from $100,000 to $140,000.
Other propositions put limits on future tax actions that can be taken up by the state legislature.
Water security, parental rights and dementia research all pass
Why you should care:
Proposition 4 allows the state to spend $1 billion a year for the next 20 years on water security and infrastructure.
With the passage of Proposition 15, Texas voters made it clear that parents are the primary decision makers for the upbringing of their child.
Texas voters also approved a measure that creates a state-funded research institute that will study dementia and Alzheimer’s. It also creates a fund aimed at preventing the diseases.
Measure blocking noncitizens from voting passes
Dig deeper:
Proposition 16, which blocks people who are not U.S. citizens from voting passed resoundingly. The amendment adds noncitizens to a list of prohibited people that includes convicted felons who do not meet exceptions outlined by the state legislature and people who have been declared mentally incompetent by a court.
Noncitizens are already prohibited from voting in federal elections.
