Your Rights

Under Texas Tax Code §41.461, you can request the evidence DCAD plans to use at your hearing. DCAD must provide it at least 14 days before. Include a written request when you file your protest.

Texas law (Tax Code Sec. 41.71) generally prohibits the appraisal district from raising your appraised value solely because you filed a protest.
