"Homestead exemption increases in recent years: 👉2025: Prop XX - increased to $140k 👉2023: Prop X - increased to $100k 👉2022: Prop X - increased to $40k 👉2015: Prop X - increased to $25k 👉1997: Prop X - increased to $15k Over that same period of time the property tax burden has only continued to increase exponentially. Spare me the gaslighting about the need for YET ANOTHER homestead exemption gimmick. 👏Texas does not have a revenue problem 👏It has a spending problem. If a proposal does not address that issue then it isn't worth your time. PERIOD. #txlege"

"Youre exactly right that waste is the barrier. Texans paid roughly $81B in property taxes last cycle & state/local spending growth has blown past population + inflation for years. The money is there the discipline isnt. If Texas commits to sustainable budgeting & uses surpluses to compress the school M&O rate every session we can eliminate property taxes. The math works. Whats missing is the political COURAGE to stop the spending explosion"

"Exactly & thats a huge part of the problem. Homestead exemptions only touch the school M&O portion & even then the relief is temporary because it doesnt restrain spending. The share of the bill paid to school districts has dropped because the state used surplus dollars for compression not because exemptions solved anything. Meanwhile counties & cities continue growing their budgets faster than population + inflation. When local governments adopt higher levies each year & treat rising appraisals as guaranteed revenue they absorb every bit of relief the state tries to deliver. This is why the"

"Youre absolutely right that the city & county levies are a huge part of this chart & youre right that tightening the voter-approval rate & eliminating the Unused Increment Rate would rein in a lot of the growth. Local governments have been using those loopholes to grow budgets far faster than taxpayers ability to fund them. But even a XXX% VAR isnt enough on its own if spending continues expanding at a pace well above population + inflation. A cap on the rate doesnt matter if the budget keeps growing. Thats why school levies still exploded even with a XXX% VAR because spending exploded. If we"

"I get the frustration; the appraisal system absolutely has problems & CADs can push values aggressively. But appraisals only matter because governments keep passing budgets that require more revenue every single year. If spending didnt explode appraisals couldnt be used as a tax-raising tool in the first place. The state doesnt need a money printer to raise property taxes. Local governments just need a bigger budget. Appraisals become the delivery mechanism. Thats why every exemption eventually becomes meaningless. Its not because the exemption is too small its because spending is too big. If"

"Absolutely. The #txlege Senate has been the single largest obstacle to sustained meaningful compression. Every time the House or the Governor has pushed for using surplus dollars to buy down the M&O rate the Senate has either watered it down blocked it outright or replaced it with yet another round of homestead gimmicks. Compression shrinks the tax itself. The Senate keeps choosing policies that shift the burden instead of reducing it. If we're serious about eliminating school property taxes or even just stabilizing bills the Senate has to stop protecting the current system and start"

"That XX% sales tax line is political fear-mongering. It assumes we keep government exactly as big & bloated as it is today and then try to replace every dollar of that spending with one tax. Thats not serious policy; its sloppy math used to shut down the conversation. Nobody is proposing that. If Texas restrains spending to population + inflation and uses surpluses for M&O rate compression the school property tax the biggest part of the bill can be eliminated without raising any sales tax rate at all. The Legislature already proved this model works when they used surplus dollars to compress"

"@ChadHastyRadio 👏 Exactly. Every new spending amendment locks bigger government into the Constitution. That makes tax relief impossible. Want lower taxes Stop approving amendments that grow government and start demanding spending restraint + compression"

"Exactly. A surplus isnt a sign of fiscal strength its proof Texans were overtaxed. That money belongs to the taxpayers not to a government thats already growing faster than the people funding it. Surpluses should go to rate compression which permanently lowers the school M&O tax. Instead too many lawmakers treat the surplus like bonus cash for more programs more agencies & more political relief gimmicks. If we stopped overtaxing Texans and restrained spending we wouldnt need gimmicks we could drive the M&O rate all the way to zero. Government should never be a "for-profit" entity"

"You are raising an important point. The authority of grand juries as a check on government was never formally removed by any constitutional amendment in Texas (that I am aware of) or in the federal system. What happened over time was gradual. Courts prosecutors & procedures evolved in ways that shifted practical control of grand juries away from ordinary citizens & toward the judicial system. It was not a single grant of authority that changed things. It was an accumulation of rules practices & precedents that made grand juries more dependent on prosecutors and less independent than they were"

"🤔Creating a permanent state-managed investment account for every newborn isnt limited government its creeping collectivism. If Texas wants to give money back to families the answer is simple: stop taking so much of it in the first place. A permanent $400M/year program added to the constitution isnt tax relief its another mandatory state expenditure. A state-run investment account for every newborn might sound helpful but it isnt conservative. It edges toward a borderline socialist approach to family finance. If Texas truly wants to help families stop over-collecting and cut taxes instead."

"Tax policy should not be designed to socially engineer who gets to live where. That is not conservative its not constitutional & it has nothing to do with fixing the property tax crisis. Whether someone rents or owns a home has zero impact on the fact that government spending is growing faster than Texans ability to pay for it. Using exemptions to discourage certain types of housing doesnt restrain budgets doesnt reduce levies & doesnt eliminate the school M&O tax. It simply shifts costs around while local governments continue spending at whatever pace they choose. Density doesnt drive"

"The surplus didnt cause local governments to raise spending. Local governments raised spending because their elected officials chose to raise spending. Thats why you see school districts cities counties & special districts all blowing past population + inflation growth. The chart shows the levies they adopted not what the state did. The state surplus forces local tax hikes narrative just doesnt match the facts. Local entities set their own budgets & their own tax rates. Nothing about a state surplus requires a school district to hire more administrators a city to issue new debt or a county to"

"The state surplus has nothing to do with cities & counties raising property taxes. Local governments set their own budgets adopt their own tax rates & choose whether to live within taxpayers means. Nothing in state law forces a city or county to grow its budget faster than population & inflation yet many choose to do exactly that. The surplus didnt make school districts add layers of administration. The surplus didnt make cities issue record debt. The surplus didnt make counties expand programs year after year. Those were local decisions not state mandates. When the state returns surplus"

"Youre absolutely right that this happened under GOP control & Republicans need to own that reality. The growth in state & local spending the creation of new agencies & the refusal to adopt sustainable budgeting have all occurred while the GOP has held every lever of power in Texas. But dragging @brianeharrison into this is just not accurate. If anything hes been one of the only #txlege lawmakers consistently calling out runaway spending & opposing the endless expansion of government. On property taxes Harrison has been leading the charge toward the exact reforms Texans are demanding. The"

"Exactly your chart makes the same point mine does: even after accounting for population growth & inflation Texas property tax levies have exploded. That gap between the blue line & the orange line is pure spending growth by school districts cities counties & special districts. Its not an appraisal issue. Its not a revenue issue. Its not a homestead exemption issue. Its spending increasing far faster than Texans ability to pay. Thats why homestead exemptions; $15k $25k $40k $100k & $140k have never kept taxes down.

"True many states struggle with property taxes. But Texas shouldnt benchmark itself against failure. Just because other states punish homeowners doesnt mean we should accept a system that undermines property rights here. Texas has the tools the surplus capacity & the economic strength to do what other states havent: restrain spending compress the M&O tax & restore real homeownership. The fact that other states havent fixed their system is exactly why Texas should. Were supposed to lead not copy everyone elses bad habits"

"Thats a common concern but its based on the assumption that eliminating property taxes requires replacing them with a giant sales tax hike. It doesnt. Thats the myth people like Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick leans on but its not how compression works. Rate compression doesnt replace the M&O tax with a new tax. It replaces it with EXISTING revenue growth + disciplined budgeting. The #txlege already used this model in 2019 & 2023 billions in existing surplus dollars were used to permanently buy down the school M&O rate without raising a single tax. No XX% sales tax. No giant swap. No volatility tied to"

"Exactly existing revenue growth is what creates surpluses. Thats already how Texas funded the last two rounds of M&O compression & no that doesnt require raising other taxes later unless government keeps growing faster than the economy. Thats the entire point of the sustainable-budget model: You stop the government from ballooning & suddenly you dont need new taxes to sustain services. If spending growth is tied to population + inflation the state consistently runs surpluses assuming that the Texas economy grows faster than that baseline. Those surpluses then fund additional M&O compression."

"Youre right that cities counties & school boards are a huge part of the problem; local spending decisions drive a lot of the levy growth. But it isnt as simple as saying the problem is local. The state shapes the entire tax structure & #txlege lawmakers consistently choose gimmicks like exemptions rather than confronting the real issue: spending is growing faster than the taxpayers' funding it. Capping appraisal increases or limiting rate increases doesnt solve anything when budgets keep expanding. Local officials absolutely need to be held accountable & renters absolutely need to understand"

"Totally agree & thats exactly why Im not advocating for yanking the rug out from under the system. Eliminating the school M&O tax in one session with no transition plan would be reckless. It would guarantee the very collapse youre describing. Structural reform has to be phased predictable & paired with spending discipline. Thats why compression works: you buy the rate down permanently over multiple cycles using existing revenue growth. You dont replace it overnight and you dont create a cliff. (Can be done faster depending on how serious lawmakers are about freezing/cutting spending) Nothing"

"That is a completely reasonable concern. A spending limit only works if it is designed correctly. The goal is not austerity for its own sake. The goal is to stop budgets from growing faster than the community itself. If the formula is tied to population growth & inflation then a growing municipality receives room to grow its budget as its service population expands. That avoids the California problem because the cap grows along with real measurable demand. The danger comes when #txlege lawmakers design limits without grounding them in reality. If a cap is too tight you get the kind of"

"Respectfully the no wedge claim doesnt match the reality of the two plans. Gov @GregAbbott_TX is at least talking about structural reform spending limits voter-approval protections & sustained M&O compression. Your plan relies on expanding exemptions & expanding the senior freeze to XX which doesnt reduce the size of the tax system at all. It just shifts the burden onto younger Texans renters & small businesses. Calling that responsibly eliminating school property taxes is exactly the problem. Exemptions dont eliminate a tax. Freezes dont eliminate a tax. Only sustained compression does that"
