Texas Legislators Approve Tax Relief for Schools
In Austin, lawmakers approved a bill implementing the Tax Relief Amendment, with a 116-29 House vote after Senate approval 29-2. Gov. Bill Clements backed the measure, seen as a major shift in property tax relief. The package promises $220 million in direct reimbursements to school districts and another $200 million via normal state aid formulas, including a $20 million addition to aid Dallas and Houston districts. The bill creates exemptions for nonbusiness cars, homes up to $5,000 in value (plus $10,000 for those 65 or older or disabled), freezes school taxes on qualified elderly homes, and excludes intangible property from school tax calculations.

Gov. Bill Clements reviews his first year in the Texas Legislature calling a possible special session before 1981 to push priorities. He cites 13 of 17 priorities passed, lists four that faltered, and notes approval of county tax offices and tax relief funds while lamenting failures on state income tax, school finance reforms, and public education programs. He accepts a 5.1 percent teacher raise if tied to experience.
