1/ Early voting starts TODAY in Texas.

Voters have 10 proposed constitutional amendments on their ballots.

Here's everything you need to know about the propositions. #txlege bit.ly/2MzhHpO
2/ Proposition 1 would permit elected municipal court judges to serve multiple municipalities at the same time.

Currently, only appointed municipal court judges can serve multiple jurisdictions, making it more challenging for small cities.

4/ Proposition 3 would allow the Legislature to create temporary property tax exemptions for people with property damaged in governor-declared disaster areas. #txlege bit.ly/2MzhHpO
