The biggest property tax cut in
Texas history may soon happen.
Lawmakers in Austin finally agreed on a deal
they say could save you thousands every year.
The big chunk of the deal is
giving $12 billion from the stae

That's going to help reduce
the school property tax rate.
Homestead exemptions would also
increase from 40,000 to $100,00.
This measure still needs to
pass the House and Senate.
Then it would need approval from the governor
before heading to the ballot in November.
