Texas voters approved all but one of 14 amendments to the state constitution on the ballot in the Tuesday November 6 election.
While Texans rejected Proposition 13 — which would have increased the retirement age for state judges — voters approved property tax relief, a cost of living adjustment for retired teacher pensions, and investments in infrastructure and parks.
