A Constitutional Question Before the Court

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 meet its constitutional obligation?
The Texas Constitution places a clear duty on the Legislature regarding public education. When that duty is not fulfilled, the burden has increasingly been shifted onto homeowners through property taxation. This filing asks whether that transfer of responsibility is constitutionally permitted.
The second question before the court is equally important:
Is the State acting ultra vires — beyond its lawful authority — by forcing counties to enforce tax schemes that may exceed constitutional limits?
In other words:
Does the State have the authority to compel counties to impose and enforce these taxes?
Are counties being placed in an unconstitutional enforcement role?
And if these actions are unconstitutional, are they systemic in nature?
Finally, this filing asks whether these practices are causing real harm to Texans, particularly residents of Collin County, through rising property taxes, loss of affordability, and the erosion of constitutional safeguards meant to protect citizens.
These are not political questions.
They are constitutional ones.
Courts exist to answer questions like this — calmly, carefully, and based on law, not emotion. That is why this matter is now before the judiciary.
This filing seeks clarity, accountability, and truth — nothing more, and nothing less.
