Texans Can Keep State Parks Funded Without New Taxes, Here's How:

The upcoming November, 2019 election represents a historic opportunity for Texans to secure funds for wild places.
Outdoorsmen and women can talk all they want about conservation and protecting our heritage, but when you have tangible ways of making a difference, the opportunities speak for themselves.
That's why it's worth paying attention to the upcoming November 5, 2019 election in Texas, where voters have a chance to ensure funds pulled from the Sporting Goods Sales Tax go towards support of state parks and historic sites.
Proposition 5 introduces an Amendment to the Texas Constitution that addresses the need for a continual stream of resources, but doesn't require any new taxes or fees. The idea is to preserve the very things we appreciate about the state.
It's about having more places to fish, with water qualities high enough to support populations. It's about protecting and improving space for wildlife to thrive. It's about giving kids more places to camp and hike.


The Texas Coalition for State Parks has been pushing for the approval of Prop 5, and has created a web resource with more info, including this video.
