Discussion, consideration, and possible action to adopt a Resolution of the Commissioners Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, supporting an educational campaign regarding Proposition 4 to amend the Texas Constitution to dedicate a portion of revenue derived from state sales and use taxes to the Texas Water Fund

About Proposition 4 – Key Points:

• Establishes a dedicated, long-term funding stream for the Texas Water Fund using existing state sales and use tax revenue (up to $1 billion annually for up to 20 years).
• No new taxes or fees — uses existing surplus revenue, modeled after the state’s transportation funding strategy.
• Supports local and regional water, wastewater, and flood resilience projects through the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB).
• Builds on the success of Proposition 6 (2023), which provided an initial $1 billion one-time investment to the Texas Water Fund.
• Strengthens statewide and regional water security, economic growth, and public health protection — especially important for fast-growing and flood-prone regions like the Rio Grande Valley.
