Property taxes

Behind on property taxes, sued by the county, or facing a sheriff’s or constable’s sale? Find the paper you got, see the dates and the money, and write to the right office yourself.

General information about Texas law, not legal advice. Techoclaro is not a law firm. Amounts and dates are estimates from the statute — the tax office’s written statement and your court papers control.

Letters to the tax office, appraisal district, clerk or servicer

Your own letter, in your words and the law’s: pick one, fill in your facts, read it, then download it as PDF or Word. Every section it cites is checked against the stored statute text before a file is made.
