    This is because that is the same for ANY amendment to the constitution of Texas.
    You are confused about Texas politics. In 1993 Texas passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting an income tax without a state-wide vote. Texas does not have referendum--all 10 propositions on the November ballot were constitutional amendments. This amendment simply made it more difficult for the issue to be put on the ballot, it did not ban an income tax since it was already banned without approval of the voters.

    And any amendment to the Texas constitution must be passed by a referendum.

    The linked article is lacking information. A state income tax already required passage in a statewide referendum, which could be put on the ballot with a simple majority vote in the state legislature. This amendment raises the bar, requiring passage of another amendment authorizing the tax. That would require approval by an*absolute supermajority of two-thirds of the elected membership of each house of the legislature and then approval in a statewide referendum. The difference appears to only be the change from a simple majority in the legislature to a 2/3 majority before it can go on the ballot

    Great, tax wealth instead. Ban consumption taxes.

    The difference is that the income tax is currently banned, done by this amendment. It was not banned before. Any mechanism for implementing one has been struck from the Texas State constitution. It is gone, completely.

    I said these were all constitutional amendments on the November ballot (Texas does not have referenda). I then proved it which makes it relevant.

    The fallacy is that you stated wrong information.

    There's still illiberal judges who could declare the law unconstitutional.
