Many Texans are confused about what my lawsuit is actually arguing, so I want to explain it clearly, honestly, and without political spin . This case is not about attacking public schools. It is not about a judge setting tax rates. And it is not about refunds or chaos. This case is about whether Texas is following its own Constitution when it funds public education through property taxes. The Texas Constitution Creates a Duty — And Limits How It Can Be Funded The Texas Co

What Article II says (short and powerful) • Government is divided into three branches : 1. Legislative — makes the law 2. Executive — enforces the law 3. Judicial — interprets the law • No branch may “attach itself” to another. That sentence is doing a lot of work. What this means in real life • The Governor : • ❌ Cannot make new law • ❌ Cannot punish without statutory authority • ❌ Cannot bypass courts • Agencies : • ❌ Cannot invent power not granted by th

Core principles in Article I (plain English) §1 – Freedom & Equality All people are born free and have equal rights. Government exists to protect those rights, not override them. §2 – Popular Sovereignty Power comes from the people. If government abuses power, the people have the right to reform it. §3 – Equal Rights / No Special Privileges Government cannot grant special privileges to one group at the expense of others. §8 – Freedom of Speech & Press Texans may speak freely.

For a long time, I thought I was behind. Behind the technology. Behind the system. Behind the people with access, teams, and resources. I wasn’t behind — I was just blocked. Today, I realized something simple but powerful: I can write my blogs from my phone. I don’t have to rush home. I don’t have to wait. When a thought comes, I can put it where it belongs — into a permanent record, not just a disappearing post. For years, I shared my thoughts on social media because I didn’

Today, I filed a legal action asking a simple — but fundamental — constitutional question. This filing is not about targeting any candidate, officeholder, or individual. That was never my intention, and it still isn’t. My only goal is to find the truth and place an important question before the court, where it belongs. The question is this: Can property owners be lawfully forced to carry the burden of school funding through property taxes when the legislative branch fails to

Texas homeowners are being taxed on values that don’t exist. Appraisal districts are creating “market values” with no real market data, no willing buyer, and no actual sale — then using those numbers to justify higher taxes year after year. That isn’t appraisal. That’s fabrication. When government assigns imaginary values and then punishes citizens for not being able to pay them, that’s not just unfair — it’s unconstitutional. I challenged this practice because Texans should

For years, Texans have been shouting about one issue that cuts deeper than politics: Property taxes are suffocating families. Leaders ignored it. County officials shrugged it off. And Austin acted like the system was untouchable. But suddenly — right in the middle of election year — the conversation has changed. Screenshots across Texas now show politicians posting about: • “Unlawful tax increases” • “Municipal transparency” • “Making Texas

People often ask me how I’m able to read the law, write federal filings, break down constitutional arguments, and stand my ground in courtrooms where most people would never dare to walk in alone. The truth is, none of this came easy — and none of it came from one moment. It came from a lifetime of moments that shaped me into the man I am today. I wasn’t born in Texas. I came to America when I was 12 years old , straight from Puerto Rico, barely speaking the language, tryin

Look at your screenshots. Look at the news cycle. Look at the sudden urgency from politicians who stayed quiet for years. Everyone is repeating the message now: “We must make Texas affordable again.” But I said this long before it was politically safe: “Let’s make Texas a place we can afford to live.” I’ve spent months explaining Articles 7 and 8. I’ve exposed the unconstitutional tax structure. I’ve filed lawsuits — not hashtags — to force accountability. And now

There will come a day in Texas when the people stand up peacefully, powerfully, and constitutionally — and take back their voice. Not through anger. Not through division. Not through fear. But through conviction, truth, and the vote. I call that day Texas Liberation Day. Not because we are breaking away from anything… but because we are breaking free from what has been holding us down. Texas Liberation Day is the day we liberate ourselves from: • Unconstitu

Most people don’t know this, but the Texas Constitution tells a powerful story — a story about rights, responsibilities, and how our state was designed to protect the people. Article 7 says the Legislature must provide an efficient public school system. Article 8 describes taxation and revenue. Article 1 protects our right to due course of law, freedom, and property. Somewhere along the way, the balance broke. Today, many Texans are not living — they are surviving . Som

Most Texans don’t realize the Constitution already tells the story of what is wrong — and how to fix it. Three key articles matter: • Article 1 — Our rights • Article 7 — Education • Article 8 — Taxation Article 7 requires the Legislature to fund “an efficient system of public free schools.” Article 8 describes how taxes are to be used. Article 1 protects property and due course of law. But somewhere in the journey from 1876 to today, that

By Freddie America There are battles you can ignore when you’re young, but life has a way of maturing your vision until certain truths refuse to stay in the background. For me, one truth has become impossible to ignore: Our schools — the heart of every Texas town — are being slowly starved. And I can no longer sit by and watch it. We can call it “underfunding,” “budget tightening,” “local pressure,” or “mandated constraints,” but the reality feels much simpler to th

By Freddie America There comes a moment in every person’s life when silence becomes too heavy to carry. A moment when you realize the world will not correct itself unless someone decides to rise — not because they are strong, not because they are fearless, but because the truth inside them refuses to stay quiet any longer. For me, that moment came when I watched fairness erode right in front of my eyes — not in a courtroom, not in a debate, but in the quiet place where th

Texans. In my quest to end property taxes, I walk beside every mother, every father, every senior, every homeowner fighting just to stay rooted in the land they love. This is not a battle of anger. It is a calling of courage, a stand of clarity, a movement of people who will no longer be divided by silence or burden.

By Freddie America FreddieAmericaForTexas.com House District 89 INTRODUCTION For decades, Texans have been told that the “Robin Hood” system is the great equalizer — a way to spread money from wealthy districts to poorer ones so every child can learn. But here’s the truth no one is willing to say out loud: Robin Hood only exists because the State violated Article 7 of the Texas Constitution. It is a band-aid on a wound caused by the Legislature — not a cure. Communi

Teachers are the backbone of Texas. They shape our children, our future, and our communities. And yet… teachers are stressed, underpaid, overworked, and constantly told: “If we reform property taxes, your schools will lose funding.” This is not true. This is not constitutional. This is not what Article 7 says. Teachers have been misled — not intentionally, but because the system is so broken that even experts no longer understand it. Today, I want to explain the tru

By Freddie America Powering Texas with Integrity – Generac & Electrical Solutions by Freddie America House District 89 — FreddieAmericaForTexas.com How Texas Failed Its Own Constitution The Texas Constitution is clear. Crystal clear. Article 7 gives the Legislature one sacred duty: To “establish and make suitable provision for the support and maintenance of an efficient system of public free schools.” But somewhere along the way, Austin broke that promise. And when

Ultra vires means “beyond lawful authority.” Government officials only have the power the law gives them — no more. In Texas: • The Chief Appraiser must follow market value, equal & uniform, and statutory standards. • The ARB must provide a lawful hearing and consider required evidence. • The Tax Assessor-Collector may only collect taxes authorized by law. When officials: • ignore FEMA flood-zone evidence

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 co
