Tax board urges Texans to learn property tax rights
Kenneth Graeber, executive director of the State Property Tax Board, announced a statewide push to inform Texas property owners of their tax rights and remedies under the new Texas Property Tax Code. The law creates central appraisal districts, a single board of equalization, streamlined filings, one-time exemptions for homestead and open space, and an eight percent cap via initiative and referendum.

Opportunity Workshop seeks tax exempt status in Monahans
The Opportunity Workshop of Monahans seeks incorporation as a tax exempt profit organization. Basil Love, president of the founding group, expects approval from the State Comptroller soon. The workshop would teach mentally and physically handicapped individuals, too old for Plan A, practical job skills to aid independence and societal contribution. It would occupy the old First National Bank Building on South Alice Street and rely mainly on community donations for funding.
