Texas Property Tax Code §43 — Judicial Review + Constitutional Protection   Texas Tax Code Section 43 works hand-in-hand with §42. If §42 gives you the right to appeal, §43 gives you the power to take it into a real courtroom.   Section 43 ensures: • Your appeal is heard by a district court • Your case gets an actual judge • Your evidence must be reviewed • Your constitutional claims can be raised • The appraisal district must prove its actions were lawful   This is where the

Texas Tax Code Section 42 is the heart of your right to fight back. It gives every Texas property owner the legal power to appeal ARB decisions, challenge unequal taxation, and demand transparency.   Section 42 is where your due process begins.   Under §42, you are entitled to: • A fair and meaningful appeal • A right to present evidence • A right to challenge wrongful valuations • A right to stand before a neutral court • A right to judicial review • A right to correct gover

Your rights to speak out, challenge government actions, run for office, and defend other Texans are protected by three powerful amendments: The First Amendment — Your Voice It protects: • Free speech • The right to petition your government • The right to speak truth to power This amendment guarantees you can expose injustice, fight abuse, and stand up for families and seniors being crushed by taxes. The Tenth Amendment — State Power & People Power The Tenth Amendment says: Al

By Freddie America | Texas House District 89   When people visit campaign websites, they expect to see passion, ideas, and solutions. But too often, what they find are the same generic phrases repeated across dozens of candidates.   For years, Texas elections have been dominated by “cookie-cutter” websites. The format rarely changes:   •        “Cut taxes.”   •        “Support families.”   •        “Back the blue.”   •        “Lower spending.”   •        “Strengthen education

Por Freddie America | Distrito 89 de la Cámara de Texas   Cuando las personas visitan las páginas de campañas políticas, esperan ver pasión, ideas y soluciones. Pero muchas veces, lo que encuentran son las mismas frases genéricas repetidas por decenas de candidatos.   Durante años, las elecciones en Texas han estado llenas de páginas “prefabricadas”. El formato rara vez cambia: “Bajar impuestos.” “Apoyar a las familias.” “Respaldar a la policía.” “Reducir el gasto.” “Mejorar

By Freddie America Candidate for Texas House District 89   Texas Doesn’t Need Another Cookie-Cutter Candidate — We Need Honesty.   Every election, politicians recycle the same phrases:   “Cap property taxes.” “Lower your tax burden.” “Hold the line on spending.”   It sounds good. It polls well. It fits neatly into a campaign ad.   But here’s the truth no one else is telling you:   You don’t “cap” something that’s already unconstitutional.   Property taxes themselves  are cons

Texans are being crushed under a property tax system that violates the very Constitution meant to protect us. Families are losing their homes. Seniors are being pushed out of the communities they built. Veterans and widows are living with fear of the next appraisal notice.   And while politicians argue, promise, stall, and campaign — Texans continue to suffer every single year.   The truth is this:   Texas does NOT have a “local” property tax system anymore.   It has evolved

Everywhere you look right now, politicians are celebrating another “five-step property tax plan.” You see the headlines. You see the graphics. You hear the promises of “historic reform” and “real relief.”   But Texans… please pay attention. What we are being sold is nothing but smoke and mirrors.   Inside those talking points is a truth they never address:   Texans are suffering under an unconstitutional system — and no five-step press release will save us.   ⭐ The Game They

Today, I’m grateful for every family, every homeowner, and every friend across Collin County, Dallas, University Park, Southlake, Westlake, Trophy Club, Plano, and Frisco  who has trusted me with their home, their safety, and their electrical needs this year. Your support means everything.   I also want to take a moment to honor all the men and women who cannot be home today — our Armed Forces, first responders, and every American standing watch, serving this country, and pro

By Freddie America   There is no agency in Texas more misunderstood — and more destructive — than the Appraisal Review Board , known as the ARB.   Most Texans only meet the ARB when they’re already in pain:   •        Their home value skyrockets for no reason   •        Their taxes jump 200–400%   •        Their protest is ignored   •        Their evidence is dismissed   •        Their voice is silenced   But the real truth is far worse:   **The ARB is not a “review board.”  

Texas families are paying $8,000 to $20,000 every year in property taxes — sometimes more. In places like Highland Park and University Park, many families pay $25,000–$35,000  or higher.   At a statewide level, Texans lose over $70 BILLION  each year in property taxes.   Let me ask a simple question:   What would YOU do with an extra $8,000–$20,000 a year?   •        Pay off your home faster   •        Take your family on a vacation   •        Invest in your future   •      

By Freddie America   The noise is loud, but the truth is louder.   Every day, we are bombarded with stories on TV and social media trying to convince us that America is falling apart — that Texas is divided, angry, hateful, and broken.   But if you step outside… Look at your neighbors… Walk through your town… Work in your community…   You will see something completely different.   Texans are not divided.   Texans are not hateful.   Texans are not the problem.   Texans are the

Not for division.   I need you for Texas — for the people, for the heart, for the soul of this great state.   I need you to share my message, share my posts, share my website:   FreddieAmericaForTexas.com   Share it with your friends.

By Freddie America   Texas has more resources, more money, more talent, and more opportunity than almost anywhere else on Earth. We are the:   •        5th–7th largest economy in the world   •        Energy capital of America   •        Technology hub of the future   •        Home to the strongest families and communities in the nation   And yet…   We still see:   •        Overwhelmed hospitals   •        Mental health crises   •        Homeless veterans   •        Families s

By Freddie America   Turn on the TV and you’d think America is tearing itself apart.   You’d think neighbors hate each other. You’d think Texas is divided. You’d think every issue is left vs. right, red vs. blue, north vs. south. You’d think people scream at each other in the streets. You’d think nobody cares anymore.   But that picture is FALSE.   The media feeds us noise  because noise keeps us afraid, confused, and divided.   And divided people don’t unite. Divided people

By Freddie America   People talk about immigration in Texas like it is some kind of unstoppable disaster — like it is a problem without a solution.   But here is the truth:   Immigration is only a “crisis” because politicians WANT it to be a crisis.   Not because of the people crossing. Not because people want trouble. Not because families are trying to hurt America.   Immigration is a crisis because leadership refuses to fix the system.   And when leaders refuse to fix the s

By Freddie America   If you have read any of my books — Born in Blood , Heritage in the Heart of Texas , The Soul of Texas — you will notice a truth woven through every chapter:   **Texas was built by the young.   America was founded by the young. Revolutions are powered by the young.   This nation and this state were not shaped by weary politicians in their late seventies clinging to power.   They were built by men and women in their:   •        20s   •        30s   •      

By Freddie America   My story isn’t special. My pain isn’t unique. And that’s exactly why I’m fighting.   Everything my family went through — being ignored, dismissed, overtaxed, silenced, and pushed aside — is happening to thousands of Texans every single day.   I am not the first Texan this system has failed. But I’m fighting to make sure I’m the last.   ⭐ 1. It Started With an Over-Appraisal — A 375% Increase Overnight   Like so many families in Texas, my home was apprais

By Freddie America   Texas has always been a land for the brave.   A land of pioneers. A land of fighters. A land of men and women who endured droughts, storms, wars, and hardships — and stood tall through every trial.   This truth is woven through every book I’ve written:   •        Born in Blood  — the story of Texas endurance   •        Heritage in the Heart of Texas  — the history that shaped us   •        The Soul of Texas  — the spirit that binds us together   •
