Eustace voters also approved a proposal for the creation of Emergency Services District 10 for fire safety.

In Athens, voters approved an almost $60 million bond package for the Athens Independent School District.

Statewide voters approved all seven proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution. The measures will increase homeowners' school property tax homestead expemptions to $25,000 from the current $15,000, give all spouses of totally disabled  veterans property tax exemptions, allow several statewide public officials to live elsewhere than Austin while holding office, allow professional sports teams to hold charitable raffles at home games, protect the right of citizens to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife, allow counties with fewer than 7,500 people to privatize road construction and maintenance and dedicate more revenue to road construction and maintenance from sales tax revenue.

In Houston, voters nixed a nondiscrimination ordinance that would have provided protection to LGBT citizens. The Houston City Council had passed the ordinance, but the Texas Supreme Court ordered the city to allow voters to decide the issue.

Opponents to the Houston ordinance argued that it would allow transgender women who were still biologically male to enter women's restrooms and locker rooms against the wishes of most women.
