Persuaded the Texas Supreme Court to affirm a favorable decision from the Austin Court of Appeals for Travis Central Appraisal District. In doing so, the Texas Supreme Court articulated holdings of importance to the Texas property-tax framework and the authority of Texas appraisal districts, which included that trial courts have broad jurisdiction to hear appeals from appraisal districts by trial de novo and that appraisal districts may present evidence of fair-market value whenever the property’s appraised value is at issue in those proceedings (overruling a prior intermediate court of appeals decision to the contrary). The result of these holdings will be to enhance the accuracy and fairness of property appraisals statewide.
