Texas Constitutional Amendment

A Texas Constitutional Amendment is a change or addition to the state's official constitution, which is the fundamental legal framework that outlines how Texas government operates and protects citizens’ rights. These amendments can be proposed by the state legislature or through citizen petitions, then are approved by voters in a statewide election. Once approved, they become part of the Texas Constitution. Amendments typically address specific issues like funding for education, public safety, or regulation of government, ensuring the document remains current with the state's needs and priorities.
