Associated Builders and Contractors of Texas, Inc., Associated General Contractors - Texas Building Branch, NFIB, Texas 2036, Texas Association of Builders, Texas Association of Manufacturers, Texas Economic Development Council, and Texas Realtors endorse Proposition 1 during the legislative process. Association of Equipment Manufacturers, which also supports the amendment, said, "SJR 59 proposes a constitutional amendment to create funds supporting the capital needs of educational programs offered by the Texas State Technical College System, modernizing and expanding this system. If successful, this investment would help keep Texas a major hub for US manufacturing and give manufacturers located in Texas a great pool of skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen to hire from."

Texas Policy Research opposes Proposition 1. They said, "While expanding access to workforce education supports individual liberty and personal responsibility, embedding this preferential funding mechanism in the Constitution undermines limited government and transparency. A statutory approach with normal budget oversight would better uphold fiscal accountability."

Create special funds in Texas Constitution

Proposition 1 would create the Available Fund or the Available Workforce Education Fund and the Permanent Fund or the Permanent Technical Institution Infrastructure Fund as special funds in the state treasury separate from the general fund to provide a dedicated revenue source for capital projects and equipment purchases for the Texas State Technical College System. The Permanent Fund would consist of funds appropriated or deposited into the fund by law, any interest earned on the fund's investments, and gifts, grants, and donations to the fund. The state Comptroller would be responsible for managing the funds. The comptroller would be authorized to determine the amount the Available Fund would receive as an annual distribution from the Permanent Fund. Proposition 1 would prohibit the amount from exceeding 5.5% of the fair market value of the investment assets in the Permanent Fund.

Authorized uses of special funds

Proposition 1 would authorize the Texas State Technical College System Board of Regents to use the Available Fund to acquire land, construct or equip buildings, repair existing buildings, acquire capital equipment (instructional equipment, virtual reality equipment, heavy industrial equipment, or vehicles), purchase books and learning materials, and pay principal and interest on bond issuance used to finance permanent improvements.

Proposition 1 would prohibit funds from the Available Fund from being used for constructing or repairing buildings used for intercollegiate athletics or auxiliary enterprises.

Funds not used during the intended fiscal year would be allowed to remain in the Available Fund for the following fiscal year.

Changes to Section 17 funding

Section 17 of Article 7 of the Texas Constitution governs permanent funding for improvements at 26 designated state institutions, including Texas State Technical College System and its campuses, but not its extension centers or programs. Proposition 1 would prohibit the funding from Section 17 in conjunction with the funding provided by the new funds established by Proposition 1 from exceeding $52 million for the fiscal year beginning on September 1, 2025, and adjusted for inflation for every fiscal year thereafter. If the total exceeds the limit, Proposition 1 would first require the funding under Section 17 to be reduced until the limit is met. If that reaches zero and the limit is still not met, then the funding under Proposition 1 would be reduced until the limit is met. Proposition 1 would also prohibit the state systems entitled to receive funding under Section 17 or Proposition 1 from receiving funding from the Permanent University Fund under Section 18 of Article 7.

In managing the assets of the fund, the comptroller may acquire, exchange, sell, supervise, manage, or retain any kind of investment that a prudent investor, exercising reasonable care, skill, and caution, would acquire or retain in light of the purposes, terms, distribution needs, and other circumstances of the fund, taking into consideration the investment of all the assets of the fund rather than a single investment. The expenses of managing the investments of the fund shall be paid from the fund.

(g) Money may not be appropriated or transferred from the permanent fund or the available fund except as provided by this section.

(h) The comptroller of public accounts shall determine the amount available for distribution from the permanent fund to the available fund for each fiscal year in accordance with a distribution policy adopted by the comptroller. The amount available for distribution:

(l) An institution, other than a component institution of the Texas State Technical College System, that is entitled to participate in dedicated funding provided by Section 17 or 18 of this article may not be entitled to participate in the funding provided by this section.

(m) This section does not impair any obligation created by the issuance of bonds or notes in accordance with prior law, including bonds or notes issued under Section 17 of this article, and all outstanding bonds and notes shall be paid in full, both principal and interest, in accordance with their terms. If this section conflicts with any other provision of this constitution, this section prevails.

(n) Money appropriated under Subsection (j) of this section that is not spent during the state fiscal year for which the appropriation is made is retained by the Texas State Technical College System and may be spent in a subsequent state fiscal year for a purpose for which the appropriation was made.

(o) The sum of the amount allocated to the Texas State Technical College System under Section 17 of this article and the amount distributed to the system under this section may not exceed:

(1) for the state fiscal year beginning September 1, 2025, $52 million; and

(2) for a state fiscal year beginning on or after September 1, 2026, the amount determined under this subsection for the preceding state fiscal year adjusted by the increase, if any, in the rate of inflation during the preceding state fiscal year, as determined by the comptroller of public accounts on the basis of changes in the most recent construction cost index published by the Engineering News-Record or, if that index is unavailable, a comparable cost index determined by the comptroller.

(p) If the sum of the amounts described by Subsection (o) of this section would exceed the limit provided under Subsection (o) for a state fiscal year:

(1) the amount allocated to the system under Section 17 of this article shall be reduced until the limit is met or the amount allocated is reduced to zero; and

(2) if necessary after the reduction under Subdivision (1) of this subsection, the amount distributed to the system under this section shall be reduced until the limit is met or the amount distributed is reduced to zero.

Section 17

(j) The state systems and institutions of higher education designated in this section may not receive any additional funds from the general revenue of the state, other than money appropriated under Section 21 of this article, for acquiring land with or without permanent improvements, for constructing or equipping buildings or other permanent improvements, or for major repair and rehabilitation of buildings or other permanent improvements except that:

(1) in the case of fire or natural disaster the legislature may appropriate from the general revenue an amount sufficient to replace the uninsured loss of any building or other permanent improvement; and

(2) the legislature, by two-thirds vote of each house, may, in cases of demonstrated need, which need must be clearly expressed in the body of the act, appropriate additional general revenue funds for acquiring land with or without permanent improvements, for constructing or equipping buildings or other permanent improvements, or for major repair and rehabilitation of buildings or other permanent improvements.

This subsection does not apply to legislative appropriations made prior to the adoption of this amendment.

Section 18

(c) Pursuant to a two-thirds vote of the membership of each house of the legislature, institutions of higher education may be created at a later date as a part of The University of Texas System or The Texas A&M University System by general law, and, when created, such an institution shall be entitled to participate in the funding provided by this section for the system in which it is created. An institution that is entitled to participate in dedicated funding provided by Article VII, Section 17 or 21, of this article constitution may not be entitled to participate in the funding provided by this section.

Background

Texas State Technical College

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) was established in 1969 and is a public technical college with 11 campuses. TSTC is governed by a board of regents with nine members who are appointed by the governor for six-year terms. As of 2025, it offers associate degrees and certificates in 48 programs across nine industries—allied health, aviation, computer and information technology, construction and maintenance, engineering and manufacturing, environmental and safety, hospitality, online programs, and transportation. In the fall semester of 2021, TSTC reported 16,618 enrolled students.

Section 17, Article 7 dedicated funding for state universities

See also: Texas Proposition 13, Funding for Higher Education Amendment (1993)

Section 17 of Article 7 was added to the Texas Constitution in 1984 with the approval of Proposition 2 with 71.9% of voters supporting it. It authorized dedicated funding for 26 institutions of higher education. Section 17 requires the first $100 million collected by the state that is not otherwise appropriated to be allocated to these institutions for capital improvements. The amendment also authorized the legislature to change the constitutionally required appropriation for the next five fiscal years by a two-thirds supermajority vote of state legislators.

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) was added to the list of eligible institutions with the approval of Proposition 13 in 1993. It was approved by a margin of 58.2% to 41.8%.

How to vote in Texas

Poll times

In Texas, all polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. Texas is divided between the Central and Mountain time zones. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.

Registration

Check your voter registration status here.

To register to vote in Texas, an applicant must be a United States citizen, a resident of the county in which he or she is registering, and at least 17 years and 10 months old.

The deadline to register to vote is 30 days before the election. Prospective voters can request a postage-paid voter registration form online or complete the form online and return it to the county voter registrar. Applications are also available at a variety of locations including the county voter registrar’s office, the secretary of state’s office, libraries, and high schools. Voter registration certificates are mailed to newly registered voters.

Automatic registration

Texas does not practice automatic voter registration.

Online registration

See also: Online voter registration

Texas does not permit online voter registration.

Same-day registration

Texas does not allow same-day voter registration.

Residency requirements

Prospective voters must reside in the county in which they are registering to vote.

Verification of citizenship

See also: Laws permitting noncitizens to vote in the United States

Texas does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual applying to register to vote must attest that they are a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury.

State law requires election officials to conduct a check of registered voters' citizenship status. Section 18.068 of the Texas Election Code says the following:

“	The secretary of state shall quarterly compare the information received under Section 16.001 of this code and Section 62.113, Government Code, to the statewide computerized voter registration list. If the secretary determines that a voter on the registration list is deceased or has been excused or disqualified from jury service because the voter is not a citizen, the secretary shall send notice of the determination to the voter registrar of the counties considered appropriate by the secretary.	”
—Section 18.068, Texas Election Code

In January 2019, the Texas secretary of state’s office announced that it would be providing local election officials with a list of registered voters who obtained driver’s licenses or IDs with documentation such as work visas or green cards. Counties would then be able to require voters on the list to provide proof of citizenship within 30 days. The review was halted by a federal judge in February 2019, and Secretary of State David Whitley rescinded the advisory in April. A news release from Whitley’s office stated that “... going forward, the Texas Secretary of State's office will send to county voter registrars only the matching records of individuals who registered to vote before identifying themselves as non-U.S. citizens to DPS when applying for a driver's license or personal identification card. This will ensure that naturalized U.S. citizens who lawfully registered to vote are not impacted by this voter registration list maintenance process.”

All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment. Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.

Verifying your registration

The Texas Secretary of State’s office allows residents to check their voter registration status online by visiting this website.

Voter ID requirements

Texas requires voters to present photo identification while voting.

The following list of accepted ID was current as of February 2023. Click here for the Texas Secretary of State's page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.

• Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
• Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS
• Texas handgun license issued by DPS
• United States Military Identification Card containing the person’s photograph
• United States Citizenship Certificate containing the person’s photograph
• United States passport (book or card)

Identification provided by voters aged 18-69 may be expired for no more than four years before the election date. Voters aged 70 and older can use an expired ID card regardless of how long ago the ID expired.

Voters who are unable to provide one of the ID options listed above can sign a Reasonable Impediment Declaration and provide one of the following supporting documents:

• Copy or original of a government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, including the voter’s voter registration certificate
• Copy of or original current utility bill
• Copy of or original bank statement
• Copy of or original government check
• Copy of or original paycheck
• Copy of or original of (a) a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or (b) a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter’s identity (which may include a foreign birth document)

The following voters are exempt from showing photo ID:

• Voters with a disability
  • Voters with a disability "may apply with the county voter registrar for a permanent exemption to presenting an acceptable photo identification or following the Reasonable Impediment Declaration procedure in the county."
• Voters who have a religious objection to being photographed

Voters who do not have a photo ID can obtain a Texas Election Identification Certificate (EIC) at any Texas driver’s license office during regular business hours. Voters can also obtain an Election Identification Certificate from a mobile station. Locations are listed here.
