Here we go again with the Homestead Tax Cap. Guess it will be on the May ballot on May 5th. At the bottom of this e-mail it tells us to vote FOR the amendment. This is important since sometimes the wording on the ballot is misleading. Read below.
FYI-- to share with homeowners you know in Texas (especially over 65).
HOMESTEAD CAP - PLEASE READ
You must vote in May to keep the Homestead tax cap for 65 and over, even if you are not 65 yet. If you are a Texas homeowner then this is VERY important to you. If not, I am sure this will be important to all your friends.
If you agree, please pass along to all on your email lists.
I am sending this email to everyone on my email address list who lives in Texas. I want to be sure you are aware of a constitutional amendment that will be on the ballot at the May election. It is an amendment to correct an error made by the lawmakers when they voted for a reduction in school property taxes in 2005.
PLEASE get out and vote for this amendment if not for yourself, then for your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends. We would really appreciate your getting the word out to all your friends and families to vote for this amendment.
The fear is that with a low voter turnout, the amendment could very well not pass.
So, please, please pass the word and VOTE FOR the constitutional amendment. Early voting will take place APRIL 30 - MAY 5 from 7 AM TO 7 PM; MAY 6 FROM NOON TO 6 PM AND MAY 7 - MAY 8 FROM 7 AM TO 7 PM. ELECTION DAY IS MAY 12 FROM 7 AM TO 7 PM.
