Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says property taxes are his top issue for special session

Naming property taxes as his top priority for the upcoming special legislative session during a Monday appearance at an Austin-based conservative think tank, Gov. Greg Abbott said that he would publicly call out lawmakers who didn’t support his 20-item legislative agenda. “We are hearing stories about people who are being taxed out of their homes because of rising property taxes. You don’t really own your home, it seems like, it’s the appraisers. That must stop,” Abbott said in remarks at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. The special session begins Tuesday and is set to run for 30 days.
