Sneak Peak at the March 3 Republican Ballot
December 29, 2025 – AUSTIN — The Republican Party of Texas has released the list of 10 non-binding propositions that will appear on the March 3, 2026 GOP primary ballot, giving party voters the chance to weigh in on key policy ideas ahead of next year’s elections.
State Republican leaders say the propositions are intended to gauge voter support on priority issues and help guide the party’s legislative agenda for the 2027 session. The measures were approved overwhelmingly by the State Republican Executive Committee in a September 2025 meeting.
Among the proposals GOP voters will consider:
- Phasing out property taxes by tying assessments to purchase price and eliminating them over six years through spending cuts.
- Requiring any local tax-raising budget to be approved by voters at a November general election.
- Protecting patients from being denied medical services based on vaccination status.
- Mandating that public schools teach that life begins at fertilization.
- Banning gender, sexuality, and reproductive clinics and services in K-12 schools.
- Enacting term limits on all elected officials.
- Texas should ban Sharia Law.
- The Texas Legislature should reduce the burden of illegal immigration on taxpayers by ending public services for illegal aliens.
- Texas should ban the large-scale export or sale of our groundwater and surface water to any single private or public entity.
Party officials stress that the propositions do not create law or amend the state constitution; rather, they serve as a barometer of Republican voter preferences that will inform the party’s priorities and platform discussions leading up to the State GOP Convention in June 2026.
The propositions will appear alongside candidate races in the Texas Republican primary, which also serves to select delegates to local conventions and influence future party leadership.
