Brief Explanatory Statements of Proposed
Constitutional Amendments
Special Election November 5, 2013
legal uses of those loans, and
would give lenders recourse
against borrowers who fail to
timely occupy the homestead
for home-rule municipalities
to fill short-term vacancies
through appointment.
The proposed amendment will
Proposition Number 1
(HJR 62)
HJR 62 proposes a constitu-
tional amendment to authorize
the legislature to provide by
statute for an exemption from
ad valorem taxation of all or
part of the market value of the
residence homestead of the
surviving spouse of a mem-
ber of the United States armed
services who is killed in ac-
tion, as long as the surviving
spouse has not remarried. An
eligible spouse who later quali-
fies a different property as the
surviving spouse’s residence
homestead could be authorized
by statute to receive an exemp-
tion from ad valorem taxation
in the same amount received
for the first qualifying home-
stead during the last year in
which the surviving spouse re-
ceived the exemption.
The proposed amendment
would appear on the ballot as
follows: “The constitutional
amendment authorizing the
legislature to provide for an ex-
emption from ad valorem taxa-
tion of all or part of the market
value of the residence home-
stead of the surviving spouse
of a member of the armed ser-
vices of the United States who
is killed in action.”
Proposition Number 2
(HJR 79)
HJR 79 proposes a constitu-
tional amendment to repeal
the constitutional provision re-
quiring the creation of a State
Medical Education Board
and a State Medical Educa-
tion Fund, neither of which is
in operation. No new loans
have been made from the fund
hy the board in more than 25
years, and the board currently
has no appointees and receives
no program funding.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amend-
ment eliminating an obsolete
requirement for a State Medi-
cal Education Board and a
State Medical Education Fund,
neither of which is operation-
al.”
Proposition Number 3
(HJR 133)
HJR 133 would authorize local
political subdivisions to extend
the length of time that aircraft
parts could remain temporar-
ily in this state before being
subject to ad valorem taxation.
Under current law, merchan-
dise, wares, and goods (includ-
ing aircraft parts) may remain
in this state temporarily for up
to 175 days before being sub-
ject to ad valorem taxation; the
proposed amendment would
permit taxing entities to extend
the exemption up to 730 days
after the date that a person ac-
quired or imported aircraft
parts in the state.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amend-
ment to authorize a political
subdivision of this state to ex-
tend 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 lo-
cated in this state for purposes
of qualifying for the tax ex-
emption.”
Proposition Number 4
(HJR 24)
HJR 24 proposes a constitu-
tional amendment that would
allow the legislature to provide
for an exemption from ad va-
lorem taxation of part of the
market value of the residence
homestead of a partially dis-
abled veteran or the surviving
spouse of a partially disabled
veteran if the residence home-
stead was donated to the dis-
abled veteran at no cost to the
veteran by a charitable organi-
zation.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amend-
ment authorizing the legisla-
ture to provide for an exemp-
tion from ad valorem taxation
of part of the market value of
the residence homestead of a
partially disabled veteran or
the surviving spouse of a par-
tially disabled veteran if the
residence homestead was do-
nated to the disabled veteran
by a charitable organization.”
Proposition Number 5
(SJR 18)
SJR 18 would amend the defi-
nition of “reverse mortgage”
to authorize the making of re-
verse mortgage loans for the
purchase of homestead prop-
erty in addition to the current
loans. SJR 18 would also add
to the definition of “reverse
mortgage” an extension of
credit that is not closed before
the 12th day after the lender
provides to the prospective
borrower a written notice sum-
marizing risks and conditions
of a reverse mortgage. The
language of the required notice
is prescribed in the resolution.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amend-
ment to authorize the making
of a reverse mortgage loan
for the purchase of homestead
property and to amend lender
disclosures and other require-
ments in connection with a re-
verse mortgage loan.”
Proposition Number 6
(SJR 1)
SJR 1 would create the State
Water Implementation Fund as
a special fund inside the state
treasury and outside the Gener-
al Revenue Fund. Money in the
fund would be administered by
the Texas Water Development
Board (TWDB) and would be
used to implement the state
water plan, as adopted by gen-
eral law, by TWDB.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amend-
ment providing for the creation
of the State Water Implemen-
tation Fund for Texas and the
State Water Implementation
Revenue Fund for Texas to as-
sist in the financing of priority
projects in the state water plan
to ensure the availability of ad-
equate water resources.”
Proposition Number 7
(HJR 87)
HJR 87 proposes a constitu-
tional amendment to allow
home-rule municipalities to
adopt charter provisions autho-
rizing the filling of vacancies
in the governing body by ap-
pointment, but only when the
remainder of the vacant term
is less than 12 months. Under
current law, municipal voters
may adopt terms of office for
municipal officers longer than
two years, but upon approv-
ing longer terms of office, any
resulting vacancies in office
must be filled by special elec-
tion. The proposed amend-
ment would provide an option
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amend-
ment authorizing a home-rule
municipality to provide in its
charter the procedure to fill a
vacancy on its governing body
for which the unexpired term is
12 months or less.”
Proposition Number 8
(HJR 147 and SJR 54)
HJR 147 would repeal the Tex-
as Constitution’s maximum
tax rate for a Hidalgo County
hospital district; the maximum
rate is currently set at 10 cents
per $100 valuation. This rate is
lower than the maximum tax
rate allowable for hospital dis-
tricts in all other counties in the
State (75 cents per $100 valu-
ation). The repeal of the con-
stitutional cap would authorize
hospital district tax rates in
Hidalgo County equal to the
hospital district tax rate laws
applicable to all other Texas
counties.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amend-
ment repealing Section 7, Ar-
ticle IX, Texas Constitution,
which relates to the creation
of a hospital district in Hidalgo
County.”
Proposition Number 9
(SJR 42)
SJR 42 would expand the po-
tential sanctions that the State
Commission on Judicial Con-
duct can issue following a
formal proceeding. This con-
stitutional amendment would
allow the Commission to issue
an order of public admonition,
warning, reprimand, or a re-
quirement to obtain additional
training or education in addi-
tion to the Commission’s cur-
rent authority to issue a public
censure or recommend remov-
al or retirement of a judge.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amend-
ment relating to expanding the
types of sanctions that may
be assessed against a judge or
justice following a formal pro-
ceeding instituted by the State
Commission on Judicial Con-
duct.”

Financial seminar
offered in Yorktown
Many families and
individuals that own land
in the Eagle Ford Shale
region have benefited
financially from oil and
gas production on their
land. While the financial
rewards have been great
for many, newfound
wealth can create a host
of issues to consider in
planning for the future.
Newfound wealth can
cause concerns about
maintaining that wealth
for the future and the
next generation, protect-
ing it from creditors of
family members, and con-
cerns about family fair-
ness.
It does not take a large
number of mineral acres
in certain parts of the
Eagle Ford Shale region
to drastically change
ones financial status and
possibly subject them to
the estate tax. One can
consider using trusts and
other vehicles to protect
one’s wealth, interests,
and family legacy.
One should also consid-
er what will happen if the
oil and gas boom eventu-
ally goes bust. Strategies
exist which can provide
income for life and even
ensure that your children
and grandchildren’s edu-
cations are fully funded
with income and estate
tax free growth.
The Texas A&M
AgriLife Extension
DeWitt County in coordi-
nation with
MassMutual-South
Texas will provide an
educational seminar to
discuss protecting, pre-
serving, and safely grow-
ing one’s assets. The pres-
entation will also discuss
estate tax avoidance, pro-
bate avoidance, and tax
favored investment
strategies. A complimen-
tary steak dinner will be
served.
Presenters will include
Pacific Life, MassMutual
South Texas, and the
Voeller Law Firm. Pacific
Life offers insurance,
annuities, and Mutual
Funds, and has been
helping clients for over
145 years. MassMutual
has been helping its
clients since 1861 and the
Voeller law firm works in
the areas of estate and
business planning.
The seminar will take
place from 6:30-8 p.m. on
Thursday, Sept. 26 at the
back room of Aunt Di’s
Kountry Kitchen at 606
E. Main St. in Yorktown.
There is no cost for the
seminar, and the dead-
line to register is noon on
Monday, Sept. 23.
Attendees are encour-
aged to preregister by
calling the AgriLife
Extension office in
DeWitt County at 361-
275-0816.
