Court of Appeals upholds Gerald Wann ruling on tax remission law
The Fifth Court of Civil Appeals in Dallas ruled the state tax remission law constitutional only as a skeleton act. It upheld Attorney General Gerald Cann’s decision overruling the measure which would have refunded ad valorem taxes to all Texas counties for five years, except 44 exemptions. The decision affects all counties and overrules Dallas County claims. It cited four constitutional violations and noted the act unlawfully delegated legislative power to the commissioners court. Fannin County would have gained about $37,000 yearly. the ruling may alter county budgets and revenue projections for the current fiscal year.
