Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, used his social media platform to address several policy issues and upcoming ballot measures in a series of posts published between October 19 and October 20, 2025.
On October 19, Abbott commented on a recent dismissal at the University of Texas, stating, “Univ. of Texas professor was dismissed from an administrative post overseeing university academic affairs because of ideological differences. Texas is targeting professors who are more focused on pushing leftist ideologies rather than preparing students to lead our nation.”
The following day, Abbott advocated for Proposition 3, a proposed constitutional amendment. He wrote on October 20, “Murderers belong behind bars. Not set free to kill again like what happened in Houston and other places. Proposition 3 on the ballot this November needs your vote to ensure Texas keeps the most dangerous criminals behind bars. It requires a constitutional amendment because”.
Later on October 20, Abbott reminded Texans about the start of early voting and the significance of the measures on the ballot. He posted, “Early voting starts today. There are 17 constitutional amendments on the ballot that are critical to Texans. Including amendments that cut property taxes & prohibit other taxes. Vote YES on all 17. Early voting ends on October 31st & Election Day is on November 4th.”
Proposition 3 is one of several constitutional amendments presented to Texas voters in November 2025. These amendments include provisions aimed at criminal justice reform and tax policy changes. Early voting for these measures runs from October 20 through October 31, with Election Day scheduled for November 4.
Abbott’s remarks regarding the University of Texas reflect ongoing debates about academic freedom and political influence in higher education institutions. His comments about Proposition 3 and other amendments highlight efforts by state leadership to address crime and adjust tax structures through voter-approved constitutional changes.
