What's New
On November 6, Texans will vote on Proposition 4, a billion dollar bond that includes funding for badly needed repairs at Texas state parks. Environment Texas is working to pass Proposition 4 and make sure our parks get the funding they need to survive and thrive. Read information on Prop 4 here.

Brief Summary
From the wetlands and beaches of the gulf coast, to swimming holes filled with children, to the breathtaking beauty of Big Bend Ranch, our state parks are a vital part of what makes us Texan. Hiking, camping, fishing, or just relaxing in these diverse and unique parks has been a Lone Star tradition for generations.
But for decades, our elected officials have starved our state parks of necessary funding.
Years of budget cuts left many parks in disrepair, lay-offs reduced access at some parks, and protection of ecologically sensitive land threatened with development has been at a stand-still.

That neglect is starting to change. This spring we convinced the Legislature to triple funding for our state parks. However, $52 million of the funding will only go forward if a bond is approved by voters this November. That’s why we need your help to pass Proposition 4 and make sure our parks get the funding they need to survive and thrive.
