Early voting starts Monday the 21st.
This is one of the better guides to the election. Another might be Empower Texans here http://www.empowertexans.com/features/recommendations-texas-constitutional-amendments
Good guide. Thanks for posting it.
Excellent Guide. Thanks for posting!
The author seems to be mistaken. Several online sources indicate that there are only 9 proposed amendments. I looked this up because I was suspicious that some liberal author might have omitted to mention a pro-gun proposition. Evidently not the case.
Very interesting.
Probably not the best place to ask this question, but re prop 5, I have a friend whose grandparents are getting along in age and since none of their children are interested in their house, have decided to reverse mortgage it. The language in this article about passing on debt to beneficiaries is disturbing - how can this sort of thing happen?
I’d rather not see my friend or his parents end up in a debt trap because of the grandparents fiscal folly.
Self ping
Thanks.
You know, everything’s bigger in Texas : )
Thank you!

6. Will we have an estate that we can leave to heirs?
When the home is sold or no longer used as a primary residence, the cash,
interest, and other HECM finance charges must be repaid. All proceeds beyond
the amount owed belong to your spouse or estate. This means any remaining
equity can be transferred to heirs. No debt is passed along to the estate or heirs.
Thank you !!!
Are these REAL constitutional amendment proposals, or the fake ones that are on most ballots?
Thanks for posting this list of amendments. First I’ve heard of them, as there are no TV ads or mailers about them. Seems our pols in Austin are pretty lax about getting the word out on the possible changes.
Prop 3 (HJR 133)
Ballot: The constitutional amendment to authorize a political subdivision of this state to extend the number of days that aircraft parts that are exempt from ad valorem taxation due to their location in this state for a temporary period may be located in this state for purposes of qualifying for the tax exemption.
Our Recommendation: Vote Yes
I cannot see how your vote YES can be made without some type of dog in this hunt.
When it comes to ANY TYPE OF TAXES, all citizens and business pay the same.....not special favors to some.
Bad point on the ping list.
BTTT!
