I did this the hard way. You don't have to.

A few years back I got my appraisal notice and something felt off. So I did what any stubborn homeowner does — I spent an entire weekend pulling up the county website, clicking through property after property, copying values into a spreadsheet, and running formulas to figure out if my neighbors were paying less than me. They were.

I showed up to my informal hearing with printed comps, a target number, and a two-minute script I'd rehearsed in my car. The appraiser knocked $40,000 off my appraisal in about eight minutes.

The process works. But it takes hours of frustrating research that most people don't know how to do — and the county isn't exactly going to walk you through it. I started helping friends, then realized: this should just exist as a service.

That's Texas Protest Kit. You still make the call. We just make sure you show up ready.

Quick answers.

Do I need a lawyer or an agent?

No. Texas law lets any homeowner protest their own assessment without a representative. You just need your numbers and what to say with them — that's the whole kit.

What if my property isn't over-assessed?

We'll tell you before you pay anything. No case, no charge. We'd rather you know the truth than sell you something you don't need.

What does the hearing actually look like?

Most informal hearings in Texas are a 15-minute phone call with an appraiser. You walk through your comparable properties, state your case, and they usually come back with an offer. Our cheat sheet tells you exactly what to say.

Which counties do you cover?

Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, and Comal right now. More are on the way. Enter your address and we'll let you know when yours is available.

What's the Texas protest deadline?

May 15th for most homeowners, or 30 days after your appraisal notice is mailed — whichever is later. Don't wait.

⚠ Texas Deadline: May 15th
