The Nov. 3 ballot [] contains the seven proposed Constitutional amendments jointly approved by the Texas Legislature during its most recent session. KUT鈥檚 Ben Philpott has been covering these propositions in a series called Better Know Your Ballot.
鈥� This Amendment would raise the Homestead Exemption limit and ease some of the property tax load for Texas homeowners.
鈥� Prop 2 seeks to retroactively amend a state law allowing veterans鈥� surviving spouses to collect certain benefits.
鈥� This amendment would maintain the requirement for the Governor to live in the governor鈥檚 mansion, but would allow other state officials to maintain residency somewhere other than within Austin鈥檚 city limits.
鈥� Prop 4 would allow that state鈥檚 professional sports teams to hold more than two (as dictates the current rule) 50-50 charity raffles per season.
鈥� The state constitution currently allows counties with 5,000 residents or fewer to construct and maintain private roads. Prop 5 raises that population bar to 7,500.
鈥� This proposition would prohibit future restrictions on hunting and fishing rights in Texas.
鈥� Prop 7 would increase the amount of money taken from the state's vehicle registration tax 鈥� up to $2.5 billion 鈥� to go towards maintaining Texas roadways.
