TAXED OUT OF TEXAS

Taxed Out of Texas is a bold conservative argument for abolishing property taxes, restoring true homeownership, and protecting Texans from a system that can make even a paid-off home feel like it is still being rented from the government.

In Texas, a homeowner can pay off the mortgage, hold the deed, maintain the property, and still face a tax bill every year. If that bill is not paid, penalties, interest, liens, foreclosure, and forced sale may follow. This book argues that such a system is incompatible with private property, limited government, and a free society.

Frederick Leroy examines the moral, legal, economic, and constitutional problems behind property taxation, with a special focus on Texas law, public school funding, school district taxes, appraisal systems, local debt, tax liens, and the burden placed on homeowners. The book challenges the contradiction between the Texas Constitution's promise of public free schools and a funding structure that forces local property owners to carry much of the cost through annual property taxes.

This book speaks directly to homeowners, seniors, retirees, homeschool families, private school families, renters, small business owners, farmers, ranchers, and taxpayers without children in public schools who believe ownership should mean ownership.

Inside, readers will find a powerful case for:

Abolishing Texas property taxes
Protecting the family homestead
Ending tax foreclosure on primary residences
Funding students instead of school systems
Expanding school choice, homeschooling, private schools, and charter schools
Reforming school finance and local government debt
Holding elected officials accountable
Building a citizen movement to demand property tax abolition
Understanding the U.S. constitutional arguments involving property rights, due process, equal protection, takings, and excessive penalties

Taxed Out of Texas also addresses why property taxes should be challenged nationwide. The book argues that no truly free society should allow government to maintain a permanent annual claim against homes, land, farms, ranches, and small businesses.

This is not just a book about taxes. It is a book about ownership, liberty, education, family security, and the right of citizens to keep what they have already earned.

For readers concerned about Texas property taxes, school taxes, appraisal increases, tax liens, government overreach, parental rights, public school funding, school choice, and the future of private property in America, Taxed Out of Texas delivers a direct and timely call to action.

Texas should lead the nation in restoring true ownership.
