This November, Texas voters will have a number of significant elections to choose, including a U.S. Senate race that is gaining national attention.
Voters in some of the country’s largest jurisdictions will even determine whether to grant bonds to their state, town, or school district to borrow more money, lower down the ballot, though.
Many of Texas’s five largest cities and school districts have already authorized November votes to approve securities, a type of loan that is commonly used to fund upgrades to government-owned houses or infrastructure, as local governments usually finalize budgets before the end of the month.
Following a May election, which saw the approval of record-breaking bonds, none of which were issued by the same countries as the ones listed above, did these elections be held in November. The largest school district bond in Texas history was <a href="https://thetexan.news/elections/2026/dallas-isd-voters-approve-largest-ever-6-2-billion-school-bond/article_0ae5703c-f359-4861-ba26-2600daa46de3.html”>approved by the Dallas Independent School District ( ISD ) voters on May 2, and Fort Worth voters <a href="https://thetexan.news/elections/2026/dallas-isd-voters-approve-largest-ever-6-2-billion-school-bond/article_0ae5703c-f359-4861-ba26-2600daa46de3.html”>approved a$ 645 million bond package primarily for street and park projects.
Just Dallas County and Tarrant County, one of the country’s five largest counties, have finalized their fiscal year budgets, and neither of them authorized a November bond election. Dallas County did ask the electorate to endorse a higher property tax rate in November.
Two of Texas’s five most populated cities have approved connection ideas in November.
In November, the City of Dallas will ask voters to approve a$ 443 million bond package for public safety. The$ 52 million deal includes$ 82 million for a new police academy, which was the purpose of a$ 50 million bond approved in 2024. Additionally, the 2026 bundle may help travel the city’s 9-1-1 emergency operations and fund upgrades to existing authorities installations.
The City of Austin approved two connection proposals worth$ 295,0 million on November’s vote. The largest portion of the offer is made up of a$ 260 million relationship for parkland improvements, and a$ 35 million following proposal would fund the construction of a new city library and upgrades to existing ones.
Additionally, two of the country’s five largest ISDs intend to place bonds on the November ballot.
A$ 1.6 billion bond deal for a variety of home improvements, including new engineering fitouts, school cars, and creating amenities, may be requested by Cypress-Fairbanks ISD.
Northside ISD in San Antonio may ask voters to endorse an$ 886 million bond to help pay for some facility changes, innovative instructional technology, and a fresh swimming pool.
