Did you purchase a home last year? If so, you will probably want to complete an Application for Homestead form to get an exemption (ie-reduction in appraised value) which lowers the taxes you have to pay on your home. It also gives you certain protection from creditors (see a lawyer or accountant for details). The form needs to be completed and submitted between January 1st and April 30th to qualify for your taxes that are due by the end of this year. You only have to do this one time for each new homestead you claim. This only applies to your primary Texas residence...second homes cannot qualify for the homestead exemption. Here is a website with more information: Texas Homestead Exemption.
