Bill signs abolishing multiple tax appraisals in counties
Gov. Bill Clements signed a law to end countywide tax appraisals replacing district offices. The bill bars the 10 cent per $100 state property tax and sets a 5 percent cap on tax hikes after petitions. Implemented by 1982, it creates five member county boards to run appraisal districts and encourages counties to join new districts.

He noted long lines at stations might continue unless stations stagger hours instead of closing early.
