Every post names the bill, the session, and the verified status, then explains what the bill does and what it changes where you live.
HJR 24Proposing a constitutional amendment; filed Nov. 9, 2026
If voters approve, the Texas constitution would spell out reproductive options that the state could not limit, including contraception, fertility treatments such as IVF, and abortion within the limits written into the resolution. People making these decisions would have their choices protected in the state constitution rather than only in state law. The 2027 ballot would ask voters to approve the proposition that the constitutional amendment establishes an individual's right to personal reproductive autonomy. This is only a proposal, so nothing changes unless the Legislature sends it to the voters and voters approve it.

A low-income homeowner who is disabled or 65 or older would keep the same total property tax instead of watching it climb, as long as the taxing body that bills the property chooses the cap. Your city, county, school district and junior college are not covered, so the change would only reach other local taxing bodies. If the homeowner dies, the cap could stay with a surviving spouse who is also of limited financial means and is disabled or 55 years of age or older at the time of death. Texas voters would decide this one at the polls on Nov. 2, 2027.

When your school district puts a bond on the ballot, it would take three-fifths of qualified voters to pass instead of a simple majority, so a measure that wins a majority of the vote could still fall short. A bond election already ordered before the effective date would still follow the old rule. Voters would also decide the constitutional amendment that this bill depends on.

If the amendment passes, the state would have to provide medical assistance to every person who applies and qualifies for the federal matching money, starting January 1, 2028. The resolution does not spell out the cost or which programs change. Texas voters would make the call in the November 2, 2027 election.

The appraisal office that sets your home's value each year would have less room to raise it. Your property tax bill is tied to that appraised value, so a smaller yearly increase means a slower-growing bill when home values jump. The cap applies only to your residence homestead, so rental and business property are not covered, and the bill text does not say what happens to the schools, cities, and counties that rely on these taxes.

Your city, county, and school district would not be allowed to levy a property tax for any purpose after January 1, 2032, beyond repaying old bonds. The bill text does not say what would replace that money for schools, roads, police, and other services. Voters would decide on November 2, 2027.

If you own a home, run a business, or rent an apartment, the limits would cap how much the appraised value used for property taxes can rise from one year to the next. Renters would feel the effect through what landlords pay in taxes and pass along in rent. The amendment would only give lawmakers permission, so a general law would still be needed before any limit applies. The measure would go to voters on November 2, 2027.

If you do not like a bill the legislature passed, this would let you gather signatures and put a repeal to voters, but the request has to be filed within 180 days of the session's final adjournment, it would have to cover a whole bill and not just part of one, and it would need the same five percent of votes cast for governor statewide and in every Senate district. The same machinery would work in the other direction, because a petition could propose a new state law or constitutional change, and a statute approved by voters could be changed or repealed within five years only by a two-thirds record vote of each house. None of it changes unless voters approve the amendment on November 2, 2027, and the amendment says lawmakers may write laws to help run the petition process.

Homeowners who live in their home would see the operations part of their school tax bill go down, while school districts would get state money to cover the gap. For tax rate limits and debt service, districts and assessors would keep using the property values that apply without the new exemption. The change applies only to taxes starting on or after January 1, 2028, so this school year is not affected. The decision point is the statewide vote on the constitutional amendment.
