BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS – On June 5, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) sent a second letter to Governor Greg Abbott urging him to issue a freeze on property taxes for the next calendar year.
“The recent increases in property taxes are impeding the growth of our communities and local economies. Our small businesses, low-and -middle-class families, and elderly Texans need property tax relief now. We cannot continue to ask our families to do more with less as the increasing costs of everyday items continue to strain South Texans’ budgets…Until the Texas State Legislature comes to a consensus on how to best move forward, I urge you [Governor Abbott] again to issue an executive order to freeze property taxes for the next calendar year. Texans need assistance now, and unless you act, they risk being taxed out of their homes and their livelihoods.”
