I’m not here to do what Austin tells me to do. I’m not here because someone in a political club hand-picked me. I’m not here to be part of a cookie-cutter campaign made in a back room. I’m here because I’ve watched seniors, veterans, families, and homeowners suffer under a system that violates the very Constitution I swore to uphold. I’m here because I’m the son of a veteran. I’m a small business owner of 15+ years. And I am self-funding this campaign, so I answer only t

Glue Point #1: When the Legislature fails Article 7, counties must raise property taxes. Because schools have to survive. Someone must pay. Since the Legislature failed → the burden shifts downward onto counties and local taxpayers. But counties can ONLY raise taxes through… ➡️ the appraisal district ➡️ the ARB ➡️ the Comptroller’s tax rules So: The ARB and appraisal districts become the enforcers of a broken system — not the cause of it. Glue Point #2:

Here in Texas, we learn from the smallest things in God’s creation. Alone, an ant can carry only a grain. But together, a colony moves mountains. And so, it is with us — 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 silenc

Under Texas Tax Code Sections 42 and 43, every homeowner is entitled to a fair appeal and access to a real courtroom. And under the Texas Constitution — Article 1, Section 19 and Section 13 — every Texan is guaranteed due process and open courts. But when hearings are rushed… when evidence is ignored… when ARB decisions feel predetermined… Our rights are being violated. Property owners — families — seniors — veterans’ widows — everyone — are being crushed by a system th

Most Texans don’t realize this, but the two most powerful protections you have against unfair government action are right inside the Texas Constitution . Article 1, Section 13 — Open Courts This section guarantees you: • Access to a real court • A real remedy for any injury • A fair opportunity to present your case • Protection from government barriers that block justice It means the government cannot shut you out, silence you, or deny your chance to be heard. Articl

The biggest federal protections you have are found right here: The Fifth Amendment It prevents the government from: • Taking property without due process • Using arbitrary or abusive power • Denying you a fair opportunity to defend yourself It is the first shield that protects citizens from federal overreach. The Fourteenth Amendment This applies due process to every state government, including Texas. It guarantees: • Equal treatment • Fair procedures • Protection o

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 •
