Texas Tax Relief Amendment pushed in 1978 special session
In July 1978 the Second Called Session of the Texas Legislature convened in Austin to consider HJR 1 and related bills aimed at returning a portion of the $3 billion rate surplus to Texans and restricting state and local tax growth. The package includes a comprehensive Article VIII reform, exemptions for personal property and homesteads, intensifying truth in taxation, and a state spending cap with a potential surplus fund. The measure seeks to curb overreaction to Prop 13 while preserving services and ensuring tax relief without undermining the tax base.
