UPDATE: Election Day 2025 is in full swing as Texans head to the polls to decide on 17 critical amendments to the state constitution. Voting commenced today, November 7, 2025, with results expected to start rolling in at 7 p.m. CT. This election could reshape key policies on taxation, water infrastructure, and healthcare research in Texas.
Voters face significant decisions, including Proposition 14, which seeks to establish the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. This initiative proposes a transfer of $3 billion from state general revenue to fund research and treatment for dementia and related diseases. The implications for families dealing with these conditions are profound, potentially improving quality of life for countless Texans.
Among the other major propositions, Proposition 1 aims to create a dedicated fund to support educational programs within the Texas State Technical College System, while Proposition 2 prohibits taxes on capital gains, impacting individual and family finances directly. The outcomes of these votes will resonate across communities, influencing local economies and residents’ daily lives.
Proposition 3 introduces reforms in the bail system for felony offenses, while Proposition 8 aims to eliminate death taxes on estates, providing significant financial relief for families during times of loss. Each of these amendments highlights pressing issues that many Texans are deeply concerned about.
As voters make their choices, the stakes are high. The amendments cover a range of topics that affect both individual rights and state funding priorities. For instance, Proposition 15 emphasizes parental rights in decision-making for children, while Proposition 17 addresses tax exemptions related to border security infrastructure.
