Legal challenges to amendments appear quashed

A half-dozen lawsuits challenging the 13 approved Texas constitutional amendments appear to be dead in the water, The Dallas Morning News reported.

One proposition that would have raised the retirement age of judges was rejected by voters. 12/13/2023 09:00 PM
