All 17 Amendments Passed

November 5, 2025 – Texas voters overwhelmingly approved all 17 proposed constitutional amendments in Tuesday’s General Election, marking another round of significant changes to the state’s 1876 Constitution. The measures passed by varying margins, signaling broad public support for issues ranging from property tax relief to infrastructure funding and retirement benefits.

Among the most notable approvals was Proposition 4, which increases the standard homestead exemption for school property taxes from $100,000 to $140,000. State leaders said the change will help reduce the tax burden on homeowners amid rising property valuations across Texas.

Other approved propositions include measures to bolster the state’s water supply and energy grid, create endowments for higher education, and provide cost-of-living adjustments for retired teachers.

Political analysts note that the passage of all 17 measures underscores the continued willingness of Texas voters to amend the state’s lengthy constitution—already one of the most frequently revised in the nation. With these latest additions, the total number of amendments ratified since 1876 now stands at 547.

Supporters of the amendments celebrated the outcome as a win for taxpayers and public workers alike, while critics cautioned that piecemeal constitutional changes may further complicate state governance in the years ahead.
