AUSTIN, TX – An encampment site underneath the Interstate 35 overpass in Austin in 2019. Austin voters will decide a proposition that could reinstate a ban on public homeless encampments.

Texas voters are casting ballots in several local elections Saturday. We’re closely watching an Austin proposition about homeless encampments, mayoral races in San Antonio and Fort Worth and a police bargaining measure in San Antonio.

Also, Lubbock voters will decide whether the city becomes the largest “sanctuary city for the unborn.” And North Texas voters have a special election to replace the late U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, R-Arlington.
