On Tuesday, November 3rd, Texas voters passed Proposition 4 (HJR 14-2) relating to the creation of additional national research universities in Texas. 

"Tonight's passage of Proposition 4 sends this important message:  Texans understand that more nationally recognized research universities will help retain Texas-grown talent, recruit top researchers who will generate billions of dollars in economic growth and create more high paying, permanent jobs," said former Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, co chairman of Texans for Tier One.
