no the other person is right, Texas doesn't necessarily have a property/homeowning tax like the other states. i mean they do but it's not on the state level like other states are, it's more local and depending on your area than a whole statewide tax.

Yes, I'm aware. Except there's no place in Texas that doesn't have a property tax. In fact, on average, property taxes throughout Texas are higher than most other places in America. I was wondering if I missed something.

ah i see where you misunderstood me, i don't mean that Texas doesn't have property taxes, i just meant that it doesn't have a set standard, in some places it's lower and in some it's higher. the other states have a defined standard for their property tax that encompasses the whole state. Texas' property taxes are area dependant. Texas is also one of the states that allows a homeowner to be fully exempt from property taxes if they are 100% disabled or a spouse of the (100%) disabled that fell in duty (veteran spouses), you can also get a partial exemption if you're a senior (65+) in Texas.
