by | Nov 5, 2025 | Area News, Latest

Complete, unofficial returns from the Nov. 4 election show all 17 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution passed in Collin County, as they did in statewide balloting. 
With all 91 vote centers reporting, Collin County Elections showed Proposition 10 had the largest percentage of votes cast with 90.18%. The second-most-favored amendment was Proposition 7 with 88.21%.
Proposition 10 would authorize a temporary property tax exemption for homes completely destroyed by fire.
Proposition 7 would authorize property tax exemptions for surviving spouses of veterans who died from service-related conditions. The exemption could transfer to a new home if the spouse has not remarried.
The lowest percentage amendment in Collin County was Proposition 6, with 56.30%. It would prohibit the Legislature from imposing any tax on securities transactions, such as buying or selling stocks or bonds.
Results are not official until canvassed by the Texas Legislature.
Collin County Elections said voter turnout was 15.83% with 117,510 ballots cast in all races out of the county’s total voter roll of 742,114. 
Election Day voting Nov. 4 was 59,012, surpassing the 56,982 ballots cast in early voting that ended Oct. 31.
