Texas seeks county home rule power expand by amendment
The proposal to amend Article IX adds Section 3 allowing counties with populations of 62 000 or more to adopt a County Home Rule Charter and empowers the Legislature to authorize smaller counties by vote. The measure details charter creation, governance, mergers with cities, tax limits, debt, and procedural rules, with ballot instructions for August 1938 and a gubernatorial proclamation.
