Why I’m Running for House District 89
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

NOW — HERE IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS IT ALL TOGETHER
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:

“Together, we become a powerful voice in Texas.”
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

Most Texans don’t know this — but the property tax fight is not just about money. It’s about our rights.
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

Why My Platform Is Built on Real Bills — Not Templates or Slogans
By Freddie America | Texas House District 89 When people visit campaign websites, they expect to see passion, ideas, and solutions.

Texas Doesn’t Need Another Cookie-Cutter Candidate — We Need the Truth About Property Taxes
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

🔥 THE TRUTH ABOUT TEXAS PROPERTY TAXES — AND WHY THE SYSTEM IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL🔥
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

⭐Smoke, Mirrors, and the Truth Texans Aren’t Being Told

The ARB Board: How It Steals Wealth from Texans and Violates Our Constitution
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.”

What Texans Could Do With $8,000–$20,000 Back in Their Pocket
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 •
