For the first time, voters in several Texas counties, including Travis, Tarrant, Harris, Dallas, and Denton, participated in elections to choose members for their local Appraisal District Boards. Previously, these positions were appointed rather than elected. The elections, which took place across multiple days, were part of a broader reform overwhelmingly approved by lawmakers and voters to increase transparency and accountability in property tax appraisals. This change allows residents to have a direct impact on the appraisal process, which determines property taxes. The elections also coincided with other local races, including a notable Texas Senate seat.
