The Problem With “Ghost Values” in Texas

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 not be punished for numbers that only exist on paper.
No family should lose their home over a “ghost value.”
No senior should fear appraisal season.
No veteran should be taxed out of the place they defended.
This fight is about drawing a hard line and saying: reality matters.
