Texans appear to feel strongly about this topic.

It's an anti-gay marriage amendment. I guess this proves that even big cities in Texas (excluding Austin) are very conservative.

It's not just Texas.  Take a look at the map of the 2004 gay marriage amendment in Ohio:





That red county is Athens, which contains Ohio University, and is decidedly liberal and has a relatively smaller population.

Although Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron and Dayton might have voted for the amendment by smaller margins than the rural areas, they still did so nonetheless.

Interesting...do you happen to have the county numerical results or the statewide numbers?

I wonder whether the large cities voted narrowly against the amendment but that the suburbs made the county overall to support it.

Sure:

I don't have ward data, so I can't answer your second question.  It is likely, but for the larger cities, for the suburbs to tip the whole county into the 'yes' column you'd still have to have some substantial support in the cities anyway.
