PROPOSITION 1 (SJR 14)
The constitutional amendment aims to ease the financial burden on spouses of totally disabled veterans. It would allow the Legislature to exempt the surviving spouses of 100-percent disabled veterans from property taxes on all or part of the market value of their home.

PROPOSITION 2 (SJR 4)
The constitutional amendment would allow the Texas Water Development Board to issue bonds for projects that will eventually become self-sustaining. TWDB, which has a zero default rate, issues bonds for water infrastructure projects. The amendment would allow the TWDB to issue a maximum of $6 billion at any time.

PROPOSITION 3 (SJR 50)
The constitutional amendment providing for the issuance of general obligation bonds of the State of Texas to finance educational loans to students.

PROPOSITION 4 (HJR 63)
The constitutional amendment would allow counties to issue bonds to finance the development of transportation reinvestment zones. Such zones allow cities to use certain property tax revenues to build roads and other transportation projects in that area. Currently, cities are able to issue transportation reinvestment zone bonds, but it has been unclear whether counties have the authority to do so.

PROPOSITION 5 (SJR 26)
The constitutional amendment would make it easier and less costly for cities or counties to enter into multi-year interlocal contracts -- agreements between government agencies to share budgets. Currently, if a city or county wanted to partner with another on a project, they would have to create a special tax and a special debt fund for that project.

PROPOSITION 6 (HJR 109)
The constitutional amendment clarifying references to the permanent school fund, allowing the General Land Office to distribute revenue from permanent school fund land or other properties to the available school fund to provide additional funding for public education, and providing for an increase in the market value of the permanent school fund for the purpose of allowing increased distributions from the available school fund.

PROPOSITION 7 (SJR 28)
The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to permit 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 8 (SJR 16)
The constitutional amendment would create an open-space tax exemption for water-stewardship. Open-space is land zoned for preservation of natural resources, and historically open-space in Texas has been used for farming or timber. The amendment would add water stewardship, or conservation, to the list, providing extra incentive for individuals to conserve the 90 percent of state water that flows through privately-owned land.

PROPOSITION 9 (SJR 9)
The constitutional amendment authorizing the governor to grant a pardon to a person who successfully completes a term of deferred adjudication community supervision. Currently, the governor can only pardon convicted individuals, but the authority does not expand to those who have deferred adjudication. The governor would only be able to issue a pardon with the recommendation of the Board of Pardons and Paroles and in criminal cases excluding treason and impeachment.

PROPOSITION 10 (SJR 37)
The constitutional amendment to change the length of the unexpired term that causes the automatic resignation of certain elected county or district officeholders if they become candidates for another office. Currently, elected officials can only keep their jobs if they file for candidacy with less than one year remaining in their current term. During the legislative session, lawmakers moved the primary election filing deadline from January 2 to mid-December to accommodate military and overseas voters. This would force some elected officials to resign from their current post to file for candidacy. The amendment would change the length of unexpired term from one year to one year and 30 days.
