Editorial policy
Texas Property Protest pages describe rules and processes. Each rule page cites a statute, a Comptroller form or an appraisal district's own page, shows the day its sources were read as Last checked, and states no outcome for any reader. Corrections are made by republishing the page with a new Last checked date. This page sets out those practices.
This page describes how the rule pages on Texas Property Protest are made: what they cover, which sources they may cite, what a Last checked date means and how a correction is made. It makes no statement about outcomes for any reader and does not compare services. Who provides this service is on the about page. Last checked: October 28, 2026.
Scope: rule and process
The pages describe what a statute, a form or an appraisal district's own page says, and the steps in a process. They do not say what the rule will mean for any one property, owner or tax bill.
The rule pages published with this policy are listed below, and the about page says who provides the site.
Primary sources only
A rule page cites three kinds of source: the Texas statutes, the Texas Comptroller, and the appraisal district's own website.
A statute is cited by its section number and linked to the Legislature's own text. A third-party summary or copy of a statute, a form or a district page is not cited as a source.
Each link in a Sources list shows the date it was read.
Last checked dates
Each page shows a Last checked date near the top, and the date is the day the page's sources were read.
The date changes when the page's sources are opened again and the page is republished.
The same date is the one in the page's structured data, so the visible date and the machine-readable date do not differ.
Checks before a rule page ships
Before a rule page is published, these checks are run on it.
- Each sentence that states a rule is recorded next to the source it was read from, with the section or heading and the date read.
- Every link in the Sources list goes to a primary source, and each shows the date it was read.
- The page text is searched for wording that states or implies an outcome for a reader, a cost, a customer opinion or a comparison with another service, and any such wording is removed before the page ships.
- The page is checked for its required parts: one heading, the team byline, a Last checked date, a Sources list and a questions section.
- The page is compared with the other pages on the site so that its text is not a copy of theirs.
Corrections
Corrections are made by republishing the page with a new Last checked date.
The corrected page shows the new Last checked date in place of the old one.
What the rule pages do not do
The rule pages do not say what a protest, an exemption or a limit will do for any one property, and they do not compare services.
They do not replace a statute, a form or an appraisal district's own instructions, and where a page and its source differ, the source is the text to read.
The site header and the promo strip above it are site-wide elements, and this policy covers the text of the rule pages and not those elements.
Sources
- The pages this policy describes. The rule pages listed under Scope and the page on the protest deadline carry their own Sources lists. Read: October 28, 2026.
