Texas Proposition 14, officially the Establish Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas Amendment, is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that appeared on the ballot in the U.S. state of Texas on November 4, 2025. It was approved voters with over two thirds in favor.
A lawsuit was filed after the election claiming that the voting machines used in the election were not certified. The funding mechanism for the Research Institute has been halted pending the results of the case.[1]
The proposition was approved for the ballot by the Texas Legislature as a bipartisan effort.[2][3] It passed in the House on April 28, 2025 with unanimous support from voting Democrats and 85.4% support from voting Republicans. On May 12, 2025, it passed in the Senate with unanimous bipartisan support.[4]
The proposition is similar to one passed by voters in 2007 to establish the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.[5] The Alzheimer's Association supported the legislation.[6]
