Texas GOP Primary Voters to Weigh 10 Advisory Propositions

SAN ANGELO, TX — Texas Republican primary voters will decide on 10 non-binding propositions March 3, 2026, as part of an advisory ballot designed to gauge party support on key issues and help shape the GOP’s legislative priorities for the 2027 session. 

The propositions, which cover property taxes, education, immigration, health care, and other topics, are not laws but serve as a signal to Republican lawmakers and party leaders. Results are expected to influence debates at the Texas GOP state convention in June 2026 and guide policy discussions in the upcoming legislative session. 

The 10 propositions are:

• Proposition 1: Texas property taxes should be assessed at the purchase price and phased out entirely over the next six years through spending reductions.
• Proposition 2: Texas should require any local government budget that raises property taxes to be approved by voters at a November general election.
• Proposition 3: Texas should prohibit denial of healthcare or any medical service based solely on the patient’s vaccination status.
• Proposition 4: Texas should require its public schools to teach that life begins at fertilization.
• Proposition 5: Texas should ban gender, sexuality, and reproductive clinics and services in K-12 schools.
• Proposition 6: Texas should enact term limits on all elected officials.
• Proposition 7: Texas should ban the large-scale export or sale of groundwater and surface water to any single private or public entity.
• Proposition 8: The Texas Legislature should reduce the burden of illegal immigration on taxpayers by ending public services for illegal immigrants.
• Proposition 9: The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature should stop awarding leadership positions, including committee and subcommittee chairmanships and vice chairmanships, to Democrats.
• Proposition 10: Texas should prohibit Sharia Law.

Early voting begins Feb. 17 and runs through Feb. 27. Primary Election Day is March 3, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters must be registered and may participate in either the Republican or Democratic primary, but not both.
