No Tax Increase.

What it does:
Creates two dedicated funds to support facilities, equipment, and major improvements for the Texas State Technical College (TSTC) System—so students train on industry-ready campuses and tools.

Why it matters: Texas employers need job-ready talent. Modern labs and equipment help Texans skill up for high-wage careers in advanced manufacturing, energy, aviation, and more.

What it does: Increase Texas’ homestead tax exemption and authorize other legislative actions related to property tax

Why it matters: Once passed, Proposition 4 supports strategies to lower the property tax burden on Texans, including more than doubling the homestead exemption from $40,000 to $100,000. Approving Prop. 4 will save the average Texas homeowner up to $1,200 a year in property taxes, putting more money back in Texans’ pockets.

What it does: Establishes the Texas University Fund and allows state funds to support research activities at state universities

Why it matters: Once passed, Proposition 5 will provide more research funding to Texas universities, including campuses from the University of North Texas System and the Texas Tech University System in North Texas. Prop. 5 will bring $20 million in new annual funding in North Texas. Each dollar spent on university research in North Texas provides a $7 economic return that benefits Texans.

What it does: Create the Texas Water Fund to help finance water infrastructure projects across Texas

Why it matters: Once passed, Proposition 6 will help support Texas’ water supply to sustain the wellbeing of Texans and communities into the future. Texas has an estimated $80 billion in needs in water-supply projects over the next 50 years. Our water systems are aging, and maintaining old infrastructure is critical to our continued economic development and quality of life as our population continues to grow. Prop. 6 will invest $1.5 billion as a down payment for Texas’ long-term water infrastructure needs. This is a historic investment by the state that comes at no cost to the taxpayers.
