DTX-DEN: Extra Edition 11/4/2025

Early voting results from Denton counties show Denton ISD voters are in favor of the district’s tax rate election. 

What's on the ballot? Voters are considering raising the tax rate to $1.2069 per $100 of assessed value.

Measuring the impact: If approved, the tax rate increase is expected to generate around $26.91 million in new revenue for the district, which would result in a projected surplus of more than $11 million. This would help address the district’s projected shortfall of $15 million and officials plan to earmark funds to support costs associated with instruction, district operations, general administration and other services.

Texas voters weighed in on 17 proposed amendments to the state constitution during the Nov. 4 election.

The overview: Some of the state propositions on the ballot included:

• Proposition 1: new funding to support the Texas State Technical College System
• Proposition 3: tighter restrictions on when Texas judges can grant bail for felony offenses
• Proposition 4: $20 billion for water supply projects and infrastructure
• Proposition 9: a $125,000 property tax exemption for businesses
• Propositions 11 and 13: expanded property tax exemptions for Texas homeowners
• Proposition 14: $3 billion to create a state dementia research institute
