Discovery that about seven million dollars would be lost through county commissioners contracts in forty seven counties for delinquent tax collection prompts calls for legislation to bar such contracts. Texas faces roughly fifty million dollars in delinquent taxes, with thirty five million collectible on real estate liens. Governor Moody hints at a special session to consider tax collection reform alongside prison commission findings, aiming to curb government waste and preserve taxpayer funds.
