As they do each odd-numbered year, Texas voters will decide whether to amend the state constitution in a variety of ways proposed by the Legislature.

This year, eight constitutional amendments are slated to be on November’s statewide ballot.

In Texas, only the Legislature may initiate changes to the Constitution. According to Ballotpedia, state lawmakers filed more than 200 constitutional amendments this legislative session.

To be placed on the ballot for voters to consider, the proposed amendments had to be approved by at least two-thirds of lawmakers in each chamber of the Texas Legislature (100 votes in the House and 21 votes in the Senate).
