Proposed Amendments to the Texas Constitution Election 2015PropSummarySupportingOpposing5Permit counties of fewer than 7,500 people to have private roads and maintenanceGive counties and private landowners more flexibility to update roads that have been poorly maintained The population limitation should be eliminated entirely as long as land owners agree and pay for costs6Establish a constitutional right to hunt and fishOther states have passed similar laws in an attempt to short circuit animal rights groups It is unnecessary because there is no immediate threat, indeed the language may be cause for concern7A portion of sales tax revenue will be dedicated to the state highway fund, but cannot be used for toll roadsProvide a steady consistent funding source for transportation projectsWill strain finances and tie the hands of future legislatures for cutting spending
