The 2023 Texas constitutional amendment election took place on November 7, 2023. Texas voters statewide voted on 14 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution all of which would pass except for proposition 13, which would have increased the mandatory retirement age for state justices and judges had it passed.[1][2]
Proposition 2 provided an exemption from county and municipal property taxes for "all or part of the appraised value of real property used to operate a child-care facility".
Proposition 4 made numerous changes to property tax calculation, notably an increase in the homestead exemption from school property taxes from $40,000 to $100,000, and would also add voter-elected members to larger county appraisal districts.
Proposition 5 created the Texas University Fund, which would provide a dedicated funding mechanism for universities which aren't part of either the University of Texas System or the Texas A&M University System but which have achieved "national prominence as research universities".
Proposition 7 created a new dedicated energy fund "to support the construction, maintenance, modernization, and operation of electric generating facilities".
Proposition 10 provided an exemption from property taxes for "equipment or inventory held by a manufacturer of medical or biomedical products to protect the Texas healthcare network and strengthen our medical supply chain".
Proposition 11 permitted conservation and reclamation districts in El Paso County to issue bonds supported by ad valorem taxes to fund the development and maintenance of parks and recreational facilities.
Proposition 12 abolished the office of County Treasurer in Galveston County (the text of the amendment requires not only the approval of a majority of voters statewide, but also a majority of voters within Galveston County).
