Floor Packet Page No. 37
      Amend CSHJR 4 as follows:
      Add a new section to the resolution to read as follows:
      SECTION____.  Sec. 2.31 to read as follows:
      (10)  Each appraisal district shall send the following
written notice to each residential property owner:
      Members of the 75th Session of the Texas Legislature have
passed legislation that will significantly lower your school
district property taxes for 1998. If your property taxes are being
paid by a mortgage company, you should contact that mortgage
company to advise them of this decrease in taxes. They will then
adjust your escrow account accordingly for tax year 1998. If you
pay your property taxes, your school district property tax bill
will be significantly less for tax year 1998. The tax bills that
reflect this decrease will be mailed in October 1998 and will be
based on the value of your property less any exemptions you may
qualify for as of January 1, 1998. If you have any questions
concerning the value of your property or qualifications for any
exemptions, please contact your local appraisal district. If you
have any questions concerning your tax bill, please contact the
office that collects these fees.
