Texas Supreme Court nixes tax plan but leaves structure intact
The Texas Supreme Court struck down the Legislature's school property tax hike but kept the tax structure, delaying a new law until 1993. Justices dodged drafting the remedy while signaling the issue will dominate 1992 voter concerns. Gov. Ann Richards condemned the ruling as political theater, while opponents hailed it as a conservative victory. The decision raises costs for redistricting disputes and ongoing school funding battles, with attorney fees and court actions continuing to shape Texas politics.
