AUSTIN, Texas - Seven amendments to the Texas Constitution are on the ballot this November.

Among the proposals are tax exemptions for disabled veterans and the spouses of first responders killed in the line of duty; expanding the number of professional sports teams' foundations that can conduct charitable raffles is another amendment offered; and another would change how you can use the equity in your homes.

Election experts say the ballot measures won't likely bring about much attention or voter turnout, but constitutional amendments are necessary to keep the state's framework up to date.

"It's a very large document. It's an old document. There have been calls in the past to say, 'Hey, let's have a constitutional convention.' They haven't really gone anywhere, so what do we do? We just keep updating and modernizing a document that's over 100 years old," said St. Edwards University Political Science Professor Brian Smith.

Smith said he expects most all of the amendments to pass because they've already been vetted by the legislature.

"Things that I think most people agree on," Smith said.

Early voting starts Monday.
